"Oversight Board Urges Meta to Revise Rules on Manipulated Media Ahead of High-Stakes Election"

The Oversight Board, an external advisory group for Meta, has called for a rewrite of the company's rules against faked videos, criticizing the current policy as "incoherent." The decision comes after the board reviewed a doctored video of President Biden and found Meta's policy on manipulated media to be lacking in addressing potential harms. The board urged Meta to urgently implement changes to its rules, including adding labels to altered videos and addressing manipulated audio, especially in the lead-up to global elections. Meta is reviewing the board's guidance and will issue a public response within 60 days.
