Meta’s oversight board has found that a Facebook video wrongfully suggesting that the US president, Joe Biden, is a paedophile does not violate the company’s current rules while deeming those rules “incoherent” and too narrowly focused on AI-generated content.
The board, which is funded by Meta – Facebook’s parent company – but run independently, took on the Biden video case in October in response to a user complaint about an altered seven-second video of the president.

It ruled that Meta was right to leave the video up under its current policy, which bars misleadingly altered videos only if they were produced by artificial intelligence or if they make people appear to say words they never actually said.
But the ruling is the first to critique Meta’s policy on “manipulated media” amid rising concerns about the potential use of new AI technologies to sway elections this year.
It said the policy “is lacking in persuasive justification, is incoherent and confusing to users, and fails to clearly specify the harms it is seeking to prevent”. It suggested Meta update it to cover both audio and video content and to apply labels identifying it as manipulated regardless of whether AI was used.
All that money and they still resort to lies. They even know about how children get emotionally abused of their site and still do nothing about it. Zuckerberg is a disease. Call Biden uncaring of the average American (we lost so much Medicare for garbage healthcare plans off the open market - some people were even given $50 credit off*) or a warmonger but there’s no proof he has the same past time as Matt Geatz.
I would suggest a protest but I only have Instagram installed once a month when I have to give live IT help
*Which is crazy how that sounds better than Republicans killing off Medicare in one big swoop. I swear someone set up our political parties so the masses think they have to choose between being castrated or just dead.
