Facebook Bans 'Deepfake'
Videos in Run-Up to 2020 Election.
The new policy was announced
by the social media giant on Monday.
It includes the Instagram platform.

appear that a person “said words
that they did not actually say.".

management offered two criteria
that would warrant the removal of
video that has been deemed "deepfake.".

The policy does not include "shallow fake"
videos, or videos manipulated by a person
using standard editing software and techniques.
