Facebook just banned deepfakes, but the policy has loopholes — and a widely-circulated deepfake of Mark Zuckerberg is allowed to stay up
However, Facebook's policy doesn't extend to deepfakes that are meant as parody or satire, nor does it ban other forms of doctored videos made with less sophisticated software. While the new policy is being heralded as a step in the right direction, misinformation watchdogs are calling on Facebook to do more.
"But dealing with deepfakes is a step but not enough," Gregory added. "They need to make sure they take clearer steps to reduce spread of known false and inflammatory videos more quickly, and they need to provide better tools to users and journalists to understand how something has been manipulated."Because the policy protects videos intended as satire, many deepfakes will remain online.
A spokesperson for Pelosi criticized Facebook's decision not to remove the video in a statement to Business Insider on Tuesday. , advised Facebook on the new policy, and told Business Insider that she sees it as fair, but would like to see more policies banning misleading videos in the future.
