Ac360 Facebook VP defends not taking Pelosi video down

[IcyPeas]

He really grills her. (Wish CNN would grill others this strongly). But Facebook being facebook...

He says to her (paraphrasing )you are a news organization, shouldn't you report the truth and she replies we are not a news organization, we are a social media organization , and he says but you are a news org....

1. Okay...this is a good start....

Confront the wild west lawless social media.....Let's keep the heat up....whatever that is...I'm in...

2. FB seems beholden to their Russian investors

And they take no responsibility for the community they host. Pathetic.

3. I love the look on Anderson's face...

that's how I feel too. Fuck Fakebook and Fuckerberg (try saying that 5 times fast).

[LuckyCharms]

4. She's full of shit.

Take that fucking fake bullshit down. So she states that she wants people to make their own decisions, so FB puts some kind of note on the damn thing that it is fake? Fuck you...it's propaganda, and your propaganda helped get us in this goddamn mess. Forget stating that it is fake...right wingers can't fucking read anyway, so your bullshit memes and videos just whips their stupid asses into a frenzy. Your trash ridden "social media site" is a fucking cancer, and your boss knows it and does not care.

(My comments are obviously not directed at the OP, but rather, to the woman in the video).

5. What a far fetched explanation. So they're going to allow anyone to be demeaned.

It doesn't take a half dozen independent organizations to decide whether this is wrong. We know it's wrong and their policy is full of crap.

6. Facebook is poison.

[Meowmee]

7. Youtube took it down

Or so I heard. She is sickening.

8. Just wonderin'

Supposing someone posted a doctored video of trump being incoherent and portrayed as drunk(which wouldn't have to be doctored much)..............would facebook react the same way and still leave it up for millions to see?
Somehow, I think not.

10. Doctored video

There is a video of TRUMP that is slowed down and makes him sound drunk. It's about building the wall. It was on a facebook page. It was obviously a parody of TRUMP and I laughed. The thing with the Pelosi video that is different is it was portrayed as actual. I deleted my face book account some time ago as it is a bad influence on my happiness. I miss some things about the connectivity it allowed but it appears to overall be a negative thing. Just one man's opinion. Thanks.

9. I'm so proud I never joined that smelly site

11. Facebook person would not answer whether FB would remove doctored video of Trump

That question, near the end , was the most telling about Facebook policy

Cooper registered shock when she would not answer that question.

So a doctored video of Speaker of House manipulated to make her appear drunk they will keep up for distribution

But a doctored video of President Trump Face Book refuses to answer whether they would keep up or take down.


My take is that she is refusing to answer because Facebook would take down such a video of Trump

I think Facebook is a political actor on the side of "strongman" or fascist regimes.

They are distributing News (although she initially tried to deny being a news organization) and as a news organization they are knowingly and selectively distributing fake news or propaganda aimed at ending democracy.
