Fake Biden video prompts call for Meta to label posts


The group says a fake video of President Biden on Facebook highlights an "incoherent" policy.

The Oversight Board said Meta was right not to remove a fake video of US President Joe Biden because it did not violate its manipulated media policy. It said this could reduce reliance on third-party fact checkers, offer a "more scalable way" to enforce its manipulated media policy and inform users about fake or altered content. Sam Gregory, executive director of human rights organisation Witness, said the platform should have an adaptive policy that addresses so-called "cheap fakes" as well as AI-generated or altered material, but this should not be overly restrictive and risk removing satirical or AI-altered content which is not designed to be misleading.
