"Meta's Oversight Board Urges Facebook to Address Fake Biden Video Policy"

Meta's Oversight Board has criticized Facebook's policies for allowing a fake video of President Joe Biden to remain on the platform, despite it being manipulated to falsely depict him inappropriately touching his granddaughter. The board called for a revision of the "incoherent" policies, urging Meta to cover all forms of manipulated media, including audio fakes, and to specify the harms it aims to prevent. While some suggest removing fake content, others advocate for labeling significantly altered content, as Meta faces pressure to update its policies ahead of upcoming elections.
