Parent of toddler in 'manipulated' Trump video forces Facebook to remove it

Facebook (FB) on Friday removed a video posted by President Donald Trump's account that had twisted a viral video of two toddlers after one of the children's parents lodged a copyright claim. The video had more than 4 million views by the time Facebook took it down.

The now-removed clip is a crude and misleading edit of a video that went viral last year which shows a Black child and a White child running to hug each other. The version posted to Trump's account made it first appear as if the Black child was running away from the White child.

Jukin Media, a company that represents creators of videos including the parent who owns this video, said in a statement provided to CNN Business Friday afternoon, "Neither the video owner nor Jukin Media gave the President permission to post the video, and after our review, we believe that his unauthorized usage of the content is a clear example of copyright infringement without valid fair use or other defense."

Jukin said in its statement that it had submitted a takedown request to Twitter (TWTR). As of Friday afternoon, the video remained on Twitter, which had no comment. Jukin did not confirm it had sent the takedown request to Facebook, but Andy Stone, a Facebook spokesperson, said "We received a copyright complaint from the rights holder of this video under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and have removed the post."

1. Good. It took too damn long, though. (nt)

[riversedge]

2. Agree. And Facebook had to hear from a parent before it acted.

[Bayard]

3. This was such a sweet clip when it first appeared

And like everything else, trump had to turn it into something hateful.

16. Everything Trump touches dies.

4. A guy with any and all resources at his disposal has to go klepto?

Something seriously wrong in that scrambled egg brain!

5. omg

the idea that a PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES would use MANIPULATED VIDEO OF TODDLERS to try to make some kind of sick, TWISTED point in his favor

[Hip2bSquare]

7. This was my very thought

It's down to manipulating videos of toddlers to rally his base. And the sad fact is, he can and probably will find a way to go even lower.

10. it is.......INDECENT

what's that other word? Oh yes. DEPLORABLE.

[Lock him up.]

14. The worst thing still is the kool-aid drinkers arguing us libs don't have a "sense of humor"

on social media. Literally even young mothers of toddlers support that monstrous criminal and try to defend his sexual-assaults allegations? I replied the fact that he's fighting the release of his DNA in Court and told them why they think blocking something that would prove his innocence in a pending rape case makes any sense... or...

*crikets*

He's poisoning the nation while he steals $500 Million from the taxpayers' cc
Lock him up in a padded cell.

6. If Twitter doesn't honor copyright then we must abuse everything Twitter has copyrighted.

8. Not the first time Trump has misused a baby.

Not the first time Trump has misused a baby.

Trump/Melania using a baby orphaned by one of Trump's followers for a political photo-op.

?w=600&h=747

It's a wonder that they did not use the white power/OK hand signal.

[Grins]

9. So who edited it?

And who posted it? And why?

And “Trump campaign” is not an answer. An actual name of someone who can be recognized pointed to, and questioned.

12. Logan Cook, who uses the alias 'Carpe Donktum', created it

Trump invited him to the White House last year. He's been suspended from Twitter for a copyright violation before.

ASSFACE!

[Gothmog]

13. Good

This will piss off trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Good for him

I'd be likewise pissed off if I were him. People like to protect their kids.

17. Now that Facebook knows

Trump plays dirty, has a tribe of slaves making propaganda posts for him, and the sort of insane depravity he is prone to, just one question.

Why the living Buddha is Trump allowed on Facebook at all?

Facebook, thy name is mud. Smelly, slimy mud. May Karma be very unkind to you, soon.
