House Democrats blasted Twitter and Facebook on Friday for hosting what they called a misleadingly edited video posted by President Donald Trump that features House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping up his State of the Union speech.The video
, posted Thursday, splices in footage of Pelosi's paper-shredding amid moments in which Trump honored the last surviving Tuskegee Airman, announced the reunion of a service member with his family and praised a fallen soldier, among other parts of Tuesday's address.
Twitter spokesperson Katie Rosborough said the company’s new policies against "synthetic and manipulated media" will not take effect until March 5, as previously announced, and the social network will not retroactively review Trump’s tweet or others featuring the video. Facebook and Twitter recently unveiled rules to crack down on altered media and so-called deepfakes, but the policies stop short of outright banning doctored videos. Facebook said its policies won’t apply to parody or satirical videos, and Twitter said it may not remove videos that aren’t deceptively shared or likely to cause harm to users.A White House spokesperson did not offer comment on the tweet.
