By Alex Horton Alex Horton General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow May 25 at 12:28 PM There is no dispute that the Facebook video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi viewed by millions is a fake, deliberately altered to make her appear drunk. YouTube acted fast and removed duplicates. Other social media outlets have not made the same call.Amid fierce calls across the public and government for Facebook to remove the video — which has been viewed 2.
A question has vexed lawmakers and Silicon Valley for years, particularly after massive disinformation campaigns were harnessed in the 2016 election: Should we consider platforms like Facebook “news publishers,” and should they handle information like one? Bickert rejected the premise in a tense back and forth. “We aren’t in the news business. We’re in the social media business,” she said, adding the company removes content deemed a threat to public safety, or from fake accounts.
Bickert said earlier in the segment that the original video is now tagged with fact-checker icons underneath the post. The video was shared nearly 47,000 times from the original source, a conservative page called Politics WatchDog. As The Post’s Drew Harwell reported, analyses of the distorted video by Washington Post journalists and outside researchers indicate that the video has been slowed to about 75 percent of its original speed.
Fakebook is what it is plain and simple fake
IT’S FAKE! If it was a take down of Zuckerberg it would be gone. Too much power in the hands of an amoral Capitalist. Break up Facebook!
So much the idea that Zuckerberg and Co. have a sense of responsibility or moral compass.
Ummm what.
Facebook finally took a stand here. If they take the peloton fake video down they should also take the fake trump videos down
Delete Facebook
Cooper would know he and cnn are the fake news leader
Boo!! Facebook!!
, Well, Facebook have the right to defend what they think is right but Facebook have the wrong judgment of blocking users!
How can they make up their own minds they have no basis to be able to do that. Facebook facilitated the ability for Russian intelligence agents to influence the decision in 2016 tainting an American election. Facebook is irresponsible.
Twitter and facebook promoting propoganda to help this white supremacists POTUS45? What is next defending American Terrorists saying it was an accident to go into a church and mass murder pershioners?
Kinda like all the fake trump ones huh
If it was doctored like they claim. You can bet it would be gone.
Suckerburg catering to the autocracy. Wake up people
PELOSI IS MENTALLY ILL!
Someone doctored abtrump or zuckerburg video and watch how fast that comes down
Too bad they did not play any music in the background the video would have been blocked in seconds...
So FB has fallen to soliciting fake news to keep Trump and the GOP off their back. What teeny tiny shred of dignity Zuckerberg had is now gone.
FUCK FACEBOOK Whose policy is to let the users decide if a *proven* scam is a scam. Perpetuating the political damage that *proven* scam is causing. Remember when the norm was to defend the TRUTH?
The video Trump shared was edited, not fake. She stutters and babbles incoherently normally.
Want to know why people aren't as indignant about this? Because you people in the media have been doing the same. See Covington kid story for reference. Your publication has plenty of of that.
Boycott Facebook
Facebook has no credibility
Down with Facebook
People should completely abandon their FB accounts. I sorry but they do have a moral responsibility just like all other forms of news. Yep news. There are a whole lot of people that get their news from FB and they believe every crazy thing posted.
Close Facebook, aka. Disinformation Central.
facebook Seriously. You know it’s a fake video. What is there for the “people” to make up their mind about? You are propagating fake news KNOWINGLY. I’m disgusted by your business practices. FacebookSpreadsLies
Utter BULLSHIT! It’s 💰 for clicks baby.
FB needs a slap in the face. Wake UP! This nightmare is their fault.
I've made my mind up. BOYCOTT FACEBOOK. Our country is more important that family pics.
Facebook is run by bots with 0 sensitivity......the VP who replied on Tv looks like a robot herself....
I cannot support a company that facilitates gaslighting. Time to get off of Facebook.
Someone needs to do a drunken Trump video!
They don’t want a set policy or precedent example in place for removing intentionally distorted content before the coming wave of deep fake video hits They’re defending in advance to allow deep fake videos to be seen
Shame on Facebook.
Another good reason to close your FB account and unsubscribe from Washington Post.
Ridiculous.
Thank God I quit facebook a while ago...
facebook is the root of evil
I made up my mind and cancelled my FB account.
I don't know, if I were her, I would sue.
Well, videos and posts that demean women like her are always kept up but try a mild rebuke of ANY right-wing bully there and it's suspension time for you.
Pelosi should sue FB for defamation since FB knowingly is engaged in spreading slander publicly.
Is facebook helping the Russians again?!?! 🤭 What a shocker! 🙄
I’m deleting that shit. Bye.
We all know she’s a drunk.
Oh no they didn’t, did someone grow a wee little backbone?
What the hellllllll facebook ?!?!
That is ridiculous!!
Shut Facebook down
Make up their own minds whether a fake video is a fake? What kind of doublespeak is that?
Users should make up their own minds whether to delete their Facebook accounts. They have become a propaganda machine.
Facebook is wrong.
F these people
Haha, the only thing fake is the Washington post. Thank you Facebook for not caving to the alt-left and their constant attacks on the first amendment.
We all know this is fake, anyone with half a brain would realise that Nancy isn't so stupid as to be filmed in that condition. Shades of Trump attacking Hillary Clinton when she had back problems and was in pain.
Facebook: “it’s obviously fake, but we’ll leave it up for users to decide if its fake based on their informed choices” Facebook users: “it’s on Facebook therefore it’s not fake!” Should we be expecting anything more? DeleteFacebook
MatthewRWBarker She should sue them then.
I’m ashamed of Zuckerberg and Cheryl Sandberg. They know better than to disseminate this disgusting stuff. This isn’t a freedom of speech issue - it is enabling the truth to be buried for the sake of greed. Cheryl’s dad knew better - me must be appalled.
It's all about the money all day all night and everything in between.
apexnerd Make up their own minds about what, exactly? Wtf
She’s 82. Even my Democrat, well connected, huge donor, friends say she’s too old. Retire SpeakerPelosi
Boycott Facebook until it is removed
I watched her press conference live and it was pretty bad, she was either drunk or is having serious problems with cognitive processes
Can some one post a deepfake porn video of jucker and berg in facebook? We will see after that.
This is what has ruined our public discourse. Allowing that video to proliferate is the same as what happened in 2016. Time to regulate social media if they do nothing to stop the worst elements from manipulating the public.
Dump Facebook.
Users should make up their mind in matters of perspective or opinion. Not in matters of video that has been confirmed doctored. They aren't smart enough to know the difference and shouldn't need to be.
It's not fake?
We should make up our own minds about what? This is not a meme. This is altered video to attempt to make a leader in our country appear incompetent. Shame on Facebook.
Well facebook is right and this user did make up my own mind n came to the conclusion that fb sucks and is in the business of advancing fake news and defamation as long as they can make a buck.
Think everyone should just delete facebook! We don't like venues who perpetuate lies and does not stick up for facts!
With all the fake crap on social media, why are the socialists up in arms about this?
Everyone in Washington knows she has a problem. Problem is, she is still the best that democrats have to offer. Like picking an apple from a bad bunch. Don’t blame the democrats. They did not have a big choice
So wrong. FB doing injustice to our democracy. Shame on them
Please show me the real vs fake videos side by side! Guess what you can’t.
That’s it for me on Facebook. They can go to hell.
Yes, we will make up our own minds.....to leave Facebook.
I made up my own mind and closed my Facebook account.
I will make up my mind for sure. I closed my Facebook account.
Si fuera un video donde Trump o su familia se vieran mal,el video se quedaria y lo pasarian miles de ceces; por eso el pueblo americano no cree que la media y las redes sociales no son objetivas. No se puede creer en ellos
Dems make up THIER OWN MINDS!?!?
DeactivateFacebook DeleteFacebook ! Needs to be broken up anyways——— 😎
If you believe to everything, on the Internet it is your problem not Facebook's
Lets hear trumps fake bullshit crys about right wing trolls censorship now.
Users should make up their own minds about dropping the facebook.
It is time for everyone to walk away from Facebook.
I am. I am quitting Facebook.
Two arguments over how to proceed with Facebook and both have valid strategies... Delete or not to delete I feel like Hamlet
The internet is a lost cause.
I’m not aiding abetting FB that’s a good thing OHH NO my gosh but we’re not dumb founded that only empowers Pelosi she knows how to run the country she’s getting stuff done dems are United together I just feel bad the media is going bonkers because there’s so much to talk about
FB is just irresponsible. There is no doubt about it, right? The tape was altered, right?
Shame on facebook.
Facebook sucks. Deplorable.
Sure. Facebook's Zuckerberg apologizes to U.S. Congress, vows to do better
Facebook and Twitter need to go away. Game is fake, nothing to make up your mind about.
Speaker Pelosi says President Trump’s family needs to do an intervention. Glad she’s not acting like a hyperbolic drama queen. Isn’t it always the slurring, stumbling drunk that thinks someone else needs an intervention? CrazyNancy
There's no need to watch this video to know that she's heavily sedated or flat out drunk.
Fuck Mark
That’s the worst excuse ever. Make up our own minds whether a clearly false video is what ?
Ridiculous!!!
Time Facebook was stopped - who the f**k donthey think they are !!
Virulent mistake by FB; editorially, professionally, ethically and in terms of creditability.
Greed!
Shameful knowingly allowing lies. Herr Goebbels would be proud of you.
Leave it up to compare it to the dozens of unaltered videos where Pelosi appears to be drunk👍
muskjames 🤦🏽♂️
Facebook is making a mistake.
Lol, 'fake'
I have. I left three years ago. Decision wasn’t that hard.
Making money off the attempted ruin of our democracy. I will never use Facebook again.
That’s why I don’t use it
Users need to GET OFF FACEBOOK. I and others have. NO you do not need Facebook. You must decide if technology owns you or you own technology. Now would be a good time to decide.
Require fake to be placed on doctored images.
Users should unsubscribe!!!
Good
Because making up their own minds has worked so well in 2016
Facebook sucks with its prejudice liberal agenda bunch of commys over there
Shame on you FB!!!
Facebook True, users should make up their own minds, but in all fairness, blatantly allowing a fake video for purposes of destroying a public official is wrong and you know it. Do the right thing or is that not in your vocabulary anymore?
Make up your mind to delete Facebook
Disgusting!!!
It’s why I left Facebook. They’re OK with misinformation. Completely ok with it.
Facebook is trash, delete your accont
FB has outlived its usefulness.
Utter nonsense!
A load of horseshit, Two-Facedbook. It’s all about the money, isn’t it? Every once in awhile you have to surface from the trumpian depths and do a little public mea culpa, while that cash register keeps clinking away with your dignity, integrity and soul. GTH.
Facebook has been a big disappointment. They need to be regulated to act more responsibly. Way too arrogant.
Disgraceful, Face Book. Surely you know the President was behind it. Do you have reason to fear?
Sounds like Face Book is more for Republicans. Just an opinion.
So we're at the point now where Facebook works for Russia, along with the Republicans, the AG and the President? Who TF stands for pre-Trump America? Could that fake video, which Trump supporters believe to be real, have been made by Russia How do we know for sure? It has begun
Males in the Democratic Party are holding back on calling her impulse to refrain from impeachment weak!
Shut down Facebook
How is a compilation video of Pelosi babbling fake?
Facebook this is another reason I deleted your app from my phone.
No, people aren’t that smart. You know it’s fake, so take it down. The only reason I would say not to take it down was if it clearly stated that it was a joke. facebook
I made up my mind....DeleteFacebook
What the hell, Facebook?
FB is useless except for pet videos and some jokes
DeleteFacebook
Despicable behavior by social media sites that leave up fake videos intended to hurt people. SpeakerPelosi
There are no good excuses they can make.
They should make up their own minds and delete it...
There's no 'making up your own mind' when it comes to a doctored video. It's not real. There's no room for interpretation there.
I kinda agree with them because not everyone in USA is mentally unstable with health issues like trump supporters it insults the intelligence of others to be in the same bracket we’re not sleepy so just make it easier put up Fake and Real videos let the voters see for themselves
No if it is false and you know it that is wrong to leave it up!!! No matter what it is!!!!
Seriously? Make up our own minds after acknowledging it’s fake. This is your problem Facebook!
Users can only make up their minds if they know the truth. Does every post say “fake video”?
Ridiculous... Facebook knows it’s s fake video... they are the problem letting fake news stay in the system and helping Trump to make up things... fact check fake news
This is Bullshit
facebook - I call bullshit. If I posted a doctored video of MarkZuckelberg f$&ing a goat, you’d take it down in a heartbeat. How much money are y’all into Putin for? TakeDownTheLies PelosiRules
How did they delete 3 billion fake accounts when they only had 2.3 billion users? 🤔 DeleteFacebook Fakebook
FB User IQ is too low. BTW, its called Subliminal Autosuggestion, the strategy behind it all. Talk about going low, there’s no bottom wit these folks!
How about we make up our own minds about using their service?
BS Facebook-grow a pair
Sounds like Sean Hannity on Fox News.
NOT OK
Facebook says it left the doctored Pelosi video so that viewers can make up their own minds... So, how is that situation different from when a Russian troll posts a theory about pizza-gate?
Zapp to you fake media and the extremefarleftsupremacists.
facebook is a despicable company who is more than happy to destroy this democracy, allow white supremacists and abusers run rampant on their platform, let slanders abound, but cringe at charges of 'conservative bias. Glad I deleted my account. Never once looked back.
Nope, this is on Facebook, really poor answer they gave, it’s nonsense and they are failing again ! A doctored video of a high political figure , decision, Ill help you, take it down! Should have been done right away. Shame on Facebook !
Facebook is a threat to democracy. It is time to break up facebook and held Zuckerberg et al accountable.
I chose to “DELETE FACEBOOK”!!!!!
Time for legislation for disclosure of social media posts originators.
DeleteFacebook What a shit company.
We should start making and spreading disinformation about facebook. Oh wait, we don’t have to. The company already has more than enough horrible stories about them. They are nothing but an instrument of propaganda and division. Ditto for twitter.
Trumps fake news bought and paid for......anything to smear and lie no bounds for this administration! I don’t recognize my country anymore, I’ve never been so scared of a president and his cult following. I know what the civil war did to divide us...no difference here.....🤮
Fu*k Zuckerberg
Oh the propaganda - it's working. Hubby, construction supervisor, away from news all day. After dinner, sits down to Facebook and says to me, 'There's something wrong with Nancy Pelosi?' Sad and scary.
F Facebook. Glad we never joined Facebook bs.
Facebook is for people with nothing better to do i suggest they go find a job and get off welfare.
Pretty sad.
It is time to regulate Facebook and Twitter as public utilities
Facebook is an arm of the repugnant party
Disgraceful decision. Indefensible.
That's like putting out a fake drug or altered drug masquerading as the real thing and saying let the buyer beware. It is not exactly fair to consumers who trust distributors (Facebook, in this case) to monitor and to exercise some level of quality control. fbnewsroom CNN
Drop FB
A tired, embattled public figure says leave me out of it.
Pathetic
How about YOU make up your mind to not be a vehicle for fake and hate!!? Talking to you mark and Sheryl. BoycottFacebook
I applaud you Mark Zuckerberg on this one! Pelosi is cognitively unfit to serve, Dems want it hidden. The tape is genuine, not the first proving the facts.
I stand with Speaker Pelosi: Pray for trump and his family who are about to be exposed for MONEY LAUNDERING
Another good reason why I left facefarce a long time ago.
Complete bullshit from Facebook and Twitter
Pelosi is a ding dong.
No. One is fake and one in not. People don’t get to decide that fact.
At least flag it as distorted you lazy phucs.
WOW!
Because the video isn't fake and it isn't a 1 time thing that has happened. Pelosi talks like she is drunk and has no idea where she is every time she speaks. We have all watched it live so many times it's pathetic for you to even try and spin it.
Facebook is also removing accounts from users that are left leaning. The Corporation has taken sides on the political divide.
This is the real fake news Facebook! Please don’t allow it to continue.
Facebook is gutless
Republicans live in a destructive fantasy that self feeds on their cuts in education...
Not a good defence Mark Zuckerberg.
Mind made up: Facebook is wrong.
Yet another example of Facebook failing to live up to its corporate responsibility. Disseminating a video it knows to be fake is indefensible.
And that’s another reason why people are dumping facebook in droves
Means facebook’s strategy on fighting fake news is fake.
Now we have confirmation on who starts fake news. WH.
If the video has been slowed down, it isn’t fake.
You mean the company that turned a blind eye when their platform was used to facilitate genocide in Myanmar doesn't think it has any responsibility for the fake news it blasts out to the most deplorable members of Trump's personality cult? Shocker.
Ok, then they need to reinstate the artist who burns Maga hats.
How to DeleteFacebook:
BS Facebook should not publish slanderous phony videos. People can’t “make up their own minds” when they do not know if a video has been altered or not.
I've decided to never use facebook again. That works.
Yes, I've made up my mind not to use facebook, and this confirms it was the right decision.
whyileftfacebook
FB 👎👎👎
Would Facebook hold this opinion if the doctored video were of President Trump? He would slam them down
We KNOW these are fake videos. This is fact. Kwality work Facebook.
So we should get off facebook.
Media cos have a responsibility to its users and should want to make sure that threats, foul language and videos that have been doctored, or depict vulgar behavior or violence are taken off. Perhaps it’s time to break them up.
Lol, i made up my mind not to install facebook on my new phone. Like 3-4 months without it, feels great.
Yes I did cancel Facebook long time ago.
This is unconscionable.
And users should have the common sense to double check their sources.
Except that Facebook has lots of really really stupid users
Boloney
This is ridiculous.
Facebook monumentally Fails once Again!
Facebook is Ebola.
I’m getting off FB
Couldn’t they use that insane logic to defend all the Russian propaganda videos too?
Facebook is a platform, not a publisher.
Well, it is FAKEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!
The hell? Make up their own minds about what? It's fake, they need to make that clear and remove it
There's nothing fake about it.
The video wasn’t fake. You are gaslighting.
Facebook aka Fakebook 😂😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Disgusting
Well, FB keeps allowing videos of a fake President, so why not fake videos of Nancy Pelosi?
This is BS. I listened to a ‘This American Life’ podcast about all the people FB employs who decide whether or not to delete offensive material.
Wow facebook You should be ashamed
facebook social media platforms are filled with people who have little to no information about most of the things to judge and form their own opinions. It's high time you accept your faults and make things right. You're being apathetic and it is unacceptable.
Oh it’s real! She’s in a drunken stupor every time I’ve ever heard her speak. It’s the only way she can reconcile her treason. There isn’t any excuse for collusion with communists, that goes double for you WP!
Mark Zukerberg has crossed the line, an altered video is fake news, I don’t care who the subject is. The problem is identifying it. Still they should not fake news stories on their media, the problem is a can of worms.
I’ve made up my mind that Facebook can’t ever save face. Thanks for using technology to drag down public discourse and democracy, jackasses.
Just like you make up your mind that 2+2=6 or not? It's not a matter of decision.
Facebook supports propaganda. Helped elect criminal trump.
She herself is a fake figure, obsessively accusing President Trump for everything knowing that many are fake accusations fabricated by those who hate USA and its President. I have a mensaje for them, President Trump has a mission to save America from you, and was chosen by God.
The problem is many FB Users are not sophisticated enough to make up their own mind. Many do not patronize a variety of information sources. What if Newspapers were allowed to putout lies and distortions and they said let the reader decide? FB your decision makes no sense.
It's now crimebook. Not Facebook
The video isn't fake. SpeakerPelosi was actually on drug.
I'm done with them!
FuckFacebook FacebookSpreadsLies DeleteFacebook
And yet another good reason to not use Facebook.
Facebook is and maybe never was our friend.
FB should indeed have removed this.
Let’s see how Facebook feels about that when similar videos pop up about politicians they support MarkZuckerberg is a sniveling little weasel MarkZuckerfuck DeleteFacebook I don’t have to delete personally I never had an account
I’ve made up my mind that fb management is shit.
Anderson Cooper is a Fake Man.
Real simple guys just cancel your Facebook account
There are people who don’t realize it’s been doctored!
Should we all be witting Facebook. It seems immoral.
But it’s an egregious lie.
Why should they? There are thousands if not millions of parody and funny-edit videos on FB and YouTube. It is the stupidity of the viewers
That’s just wrong
I have seen that video more on Twitter than Facebook. In my opinion, it should be taken off both as it is fake and demeaning.why can you report things if nothing happens. These posts are demeaning. Worse off, the Potus tweeted it. He has no morals. He is the king of fake news!!
I didn't see you PROTEST to Facebook to remove Kathy Griffin displaying a decapitated head of President Trump. HYPOCRITE
Wait ... facebook wants some users to conclude a fake video is real DeleteFacebook
Make up our own minds about what? It’s a lie pure and simple
Than label it as fake! facebook is full of shit!
Absolutely disgusting. They'll take down a foreign country's fake news, but they are willing to let anyone in this country, particularly the despot Trump, say anything they want? No more Facebook for me.
Congress, please regulate the bleep out of Facebook. They don't deserve out data just because, and especially as they defend fake videos that our enemies endorse.
What a bullshit reason. facebook needs to reevaluate its process.
Fakebook
It’s fake, but make up your own mind.🤦♀️
Facebook is dying
Nope
facebook do you fools not realize everything is political and asshole arrogant Darthvader Zuckerberg Will have feds break up FB And my shit investment will be a shit investment.... Oh no it won't... because the market pays A premium on stock splits Thanks Mark 👍😀😊
Facebook is stupid and craven, and of argument!
Screwball Zuckerberg thinks his crap don’t stink the world knows otherwise
I totally agree with the statement from Facebook!
Sad!
Watching CrazyNancy weekly press briefing live she stutters and many times is incoherent, what is also obvious is FakeNewsMedia covering for her.
Facebook has shown their hypocritical minset. What this person/s did to Nancy Pelosi is so dangerous, not only to her but the whole country. But Facebook can ban Louis Ferrakhan for encouraging African Americans to live a better life. This is racism but it is also bad judgement.
BanFacebook ZuckSucks
No facebook, your rules should actually ban such bullshit. Users can hardly feed themselves much less make up their own minds.
Users should make up their own minds? They have to be honest and reliable. This is a shame!
Wonder how long a video of Zuckerberg or his wife altered to make them look stumbling drunk and slurring their words would stay on the site?
Facebook should stop encouraging, fake news, liars and distorted pictures and videos! Facebook broke rules, should be regulated by lawmakers.
Facebook the world can see how you do business and what side of the fence you sit. One rule for one corrupt tv reality liar purporting to be a president and another rule for others. DeleteFacebook
Facelift at it again...
Now Nancy you have a reason to break them up. They are not on the side of democracy.
Make up their own mind? One is fake!
I’ve made up my own mind - Facebook’s ethics stink.
Why the surprise from the company that disseminated the elect Trump propaganda and misinformation. Only one solution: boycottFacebook
I agree with Facebook on this issue. Facebook is a social media site, not a news organization. People posts parodies, photoshopped pics, doctored videos all the time. Mostly for entertainment and shock value. What makes a slowed video of Nancy any different?
Makes sense 🙄
If you read or saw it online its true. People use the brain God gave you.
A true leader isn’t deterred easily
facebook is again up to no good!
Boycott Facebook, they suck. This is non partisan, if this is any indication of what to expect in 2020 elections, shame on them, no matter your party of choice
They have lost their minds.
It should be labeled as doctored footage then
Made up my mind, suspended my Facebook account until further notice.
facebook = fakebook
Looks like facebook wants to alienate anyone that is in touch with reality. The end of Facebook is coming, as only old people & conspiracy theorist flock to the site.
Seriously Facebook? Users should make up their own minds? Isn’t that how we got Trump as president...folks watched the fake news and videos and made up their minds. So much for you policing the fake posts.
Facebook’s in the bag with Trump they’re all crooked they’re all worthless pieces of junk Facebook the whole lot of them
They take the same position on using pictures of members of the military in fake scam accounts.
Users could make up their minds to delete their FB accounts.
Facebook is wrong about leaving fake video...Facebook’s statement makes no sense.
Time to move on from Facebook...
Quick, somebody post 1 video of Trump looking drunk and we'll see Facebook quickly fix their policies.
FB just wants the viewer hits to add revinue. They ought to at least have a clear disclaimer - it's irresponsible of FB.
Looks to me like you're all making a mountain out of a molehill!
Oh, blame it on Facebook...Americans see her fake behavior
BoycottFacebook
“Make up their own minds” if a clearly doctored video is real? And what next? They should also make up their own minds about whether or not to learn to make bombs over the internet? The common good demands responsible companies remove harmful elements. But FB isn’t responsible
Someone with greater skills that please create a news story of how FB exec's are in a child porn ring and using profits to support their dying platform. Lets see how fast that gets deleted.
FB is wrong again. facebook need to use some common sense about this
Oh shit.........who got to Facebook?
This was pathetic! SHE SAID we proactively put in front of people the difference....REALLY? SO on everyone of these videos FB has labeled them a lie...LMAO NO!. She they don't touch political.discourse and only deal with safety.. What if Pelosie gets death threats over it?
Facebook must stand for the accurate and true postings and not help the Liars criminals to destroy our Country and our Democracy
Bastards. Lack of responsibility is appalling. Truth has no meaning to these people. I think we should probably stay off both
Democrats.
Good god. Can't stand facebook but glad someone said to screw off with this nonsense. Lighten up! I have seen altered videos on Trump that were hilarious. She is not a victim. Why are people not as pissed about the DNC not doing something for this country? Weird fight to fight.
They better at least put a disclaimer on it, or face a moral backlash.
Ppl should just delete Facebook see how they’re pockets look then
SpeakerPelosi TheDemocrats From many discussions a number of people are convinced that Pelosi is in the middle of a mental crisis. Her actions may indicate many disturbing actions related to dementia or atzhrimen’s
Make up their own minds? There are people who will believe it is real. There are people who believe that our doctors and mothers are committing infanticide because Trump lies about it. This is irresponsible.
I made up my mind long time ago. I have always stayed away from Facebook
that’s all well and good if you have a functioning brain. unfortunately, the orange cult doesn’t.
Thanks Facebook. I made up my mind and deleted my fb acct this morning. I don't need that kind of corrupt, invasive, selling my personal info bs in my life. deletefacebook
Wrong. Remove.
Tick toc ...you ready nbcsnl
Make up their minds about what? This is an admitted doctored video. This just shows that Facebook is run by people who are greedy & without morals. Wait till 2020. Can you imagine how much bull shit they will allow?
of course you would have to make an assumption that facebook users HAVE minds....
I did. I deleted Facebook.
scullyresists So much for their stance against fake news.
Facebook is a dying site; they are desperate for attention
Let’s flood Facebook Trump and Zuckerberg fake videos.
I've made up my mind to not use facebook,
They should penalize Trump and any other politician for resending the video.
Maybe they should change their name to Fakebook(tm).
I made my decision a year ago...Facebook didn’t even kiss my ass goodbye when I left, though I did tell them they could!
Waaaaa. If it smells like an onion...
Bueno eso es verdad cada quien tiene derecho a hablar y decir lo que piensa y siente. sea del pais que sea.
Maybe if the media hadn't lied to the American people for over two years they would have credibility and we could believe them. But alas the media has proven themselves to be liars and propagandists so we will have to make up our own minds.
Make up their own minds? Choose between truth and lies? Some people can't tell the difference. If Facebook publishes Trump's lies- not opinion: lies- they're not protecting free speech. They are spreading lies. TrumpLies LyingTrump FacebookSpreadsLies RESIST
Facebook’s position on the fake Pelosi video should be more than enough for all Americans to close their accounts, to stop using this site.
No that's not enough. The posts need to be tagged as fake or altered and the person or organization who posted it should be shamed publicly.
Then why the hell doesn't facebook and Mark 'Rubles' Zuck at least state 'this is an altered video and does not accurately represent the actual video of Nancy Pelosi'? Too much money to be had pandering to Trumpists? Russian money and fake news in 2016...nothing has changed.
So sad and disrespectful! They must be on Trumps payroll!
Apparently they aren’t as biased as the yet.
We need a good Facebook alternative.
Do Facebook executives live in the same world I do, where people can barely read stop signs?
An opportunity exists for another social media platform who would take the time to verify this bs.
In most cases, “users should make up their own minds”, except when something is known to be 100% fake and false. That makes it ok to post whatever vile lies you want to post!
What a concept. Unless you think every site must screen every single video uploaded to ensure it hasn’t been edited or manipulated. Snowflakes are ushering in facism by clamoring for corporations to seize unilateral censorship power.
It’s irresponsible for anyone to make someone look foolish without an obvious indication that satire is in play, but if the video was about Trump, the media would be laughing. That’s why the media’s end is near and consequences are on the horizon. Buckle up!
Gotta keep raking in the $. Wouldn’t want to do something crazy, like at least try to be responsible
Pelosi is slurring her words here.
I suggest everyone block every single Twitter ad on their feed. Every. Single. One.
That so a really bad look facebook
If it’s to determine the validity of a proven manipulation, then FB should be forced to post both videos side by side in one post.
Crying freaking babies
Facebook is wrong. Time to log out of Facebook and stay logged out.
Don’t they realize that Facebook is made up of old idiots who can’t tell the difference
But what if the users don’t have minds?
Zuckerberg has too much power- FB Instagram need to be broken up
Facebook is wrong. Those idiots should not post lies. That's how trump got elected
Facebook sucks!!!
Left FB a year ago. Don’t miss it. Don’t think about it.
Problem is there are a lot of dumb users
Smacks of sexism to me.
Well if you believe the video that is obviously fake then you don’t have a brain
Thanks for the FB article. Millions of additional people will see that the tape was 'fake news' and FB is complicit. Hopefully, people will begin to question FB and its 'news.'
Really Facebook is a45 supporter people's need too boycott Facebook
this is disgraceful. FB deserves to be called out for not pulling the video altogether. It is cowardly; it is wrong. Their explanation of purity is absurd. Shame on them.
Facebook is correct..I mean FOX news for example
Facebook sucks and its obviously a doctored video so the excuse that is given for leaving it up is bullshit
Disgraceful
Make up their own minds that facebook is awful!
They want to combat fake news by allowing fake news lmao got it
Spoken like the true paid propagandists they are.
Make up their own minds on? If it is real? That statement makes no sense...
I‘ve made up my mind: Shutdown Facebook.
But if the user is too stupid...?
evat101010 Trouble is it Wasn't fake. Fox apologized for calling it altered.
Yet, they locked me out cuz I wouldn't send them a pic of my ID and change my name to what my ID says it is, guess what, I made a choice and sent them a pic of my middle finger and never will use Facebook in the future.
Television can't broadcast as 'news' doctored and fake videos. Facebook needs equal regulation. BreakUpFacebookMonopoly Not unexpected Rudolph Giuliani colluded to rebroadcast fake video. Just like Dracula's fly-eating madman Renfield, nothing he wouldn't do for pat on the head.
Is the video fake or real, who knows? Only the user can decide. Is really a shitty take for any company to take but I’m not really surprise Facebook is cool with it. I think there is a space next to MySpace that Facebook can inhabit
They should make up their own minds about whether fake is real or not?
DeleteFacebook
SHAME ON FACEBOOK
ewarren is the only candidate who talks about breaking these companies up. Reason 284939 why I love her.
Facebook needs to decide if it’s a publisher or a platform
I dropped Facebook a long time ago.
Isn’t that slander?
Fair game then. The real videos of Trump however, horrifying!!
facebook is trash
Make up their minds about what exactly?
Start dumping Facebook. It's completely useless...But not to the Russians.
And this is why it needs to be broken up and ppl need to stop using it.
Facebook is a cesspool folks.
Lol! she is such a clown.
Bull. They took it right off my page
facebook really is disingenuous. It's fake. A lie. People don't need to 'make up their own minds' about lies and slander. This is no different than the Alex Jones videos removed earlier. FB is *knowingly complicit* in blatant disinformation campaigns they vow to fight because $.
y'all need to stop whining and crying about regulation, just delete your facebook, no one force you to use it.
Facebook is completely wrong hear. The hell with them.
Folks watch the complete video on cspan . You would know that Pelosi has speech issue. She is stammering all along. Time has come for her to step down. Dont protect politicians.
Seriously, FB? Make up our minds about an altered video? What exactly are we making bbn our minds up about? It's a lie, plain and simple. Remove it. removethevideofacebook
So they leave the video up so people can make up their own minds about it, while simultaneously acknowledging that it’s fake. Um, okkkaaayy. So glad that I’ve been off FB for half a year now!
What happens if that picture of that comedian holding Donald’s ketchup head is posted?
😡😡😡 A despicable cop-out by Facebook. Truly despicable.
In all fairness the mainstream media ran a fake Russian Collusion hoax for two years and no one is asking to take all their videos and stories down
FakeBook
There was a time the media reported what actually happened, and you had to decide what to think about it. Now the media tells you what to think, and you have to decide if it actually happened.
What crap...they nee to remove it
If it was Trump, they would be praised and the video would be exploited by all of you biased, so called news groups
Facebook ain’t shit
That worked out so well in the 2016 election didn’t it? How much longer is FaceBook going to hide behind “freedom” as the justification for why their platform should be allowed to continued to spread dangerous misinformation that preys specifically on the vulnerable minded.
They act like there is 2 sides when presenting truth! There is not!
Smh no more facebook for me or my kids
Freedom. Now, about censorship?
facebook WTF?
DeleteFacebook
That's it. They need to be broken up or at least regulated.
Facebook hates America
FB is a social media website designed by people who want to make money, and you are quite free to ignore it.
What if they’re too dumb to?
Hey zuckerberg - can you spell 'irresponsible'?
Seems reasonable.
This isn’t a “both sides” argument, either. There’s only right and wrong. Right = delete Facebook. It sucks. It’s nothing but Zuckerberg’s ongoing power trip, and millions of people are losing by helping him make $ in the process. It’s trash. Delete it.
Great facebook , will all the billions of FB users who are also trained video editors please stand up? Yeah, I thought so.
They’re not very good at being Facebook are they?
I hate to frame it in these terms, but someone might claim artistic license in such a situation … Restricting the creativities of our artists and musicians have to be considered. But that's not a one-way street.
It's why I don't fuck with Facebook anymore....it's ridiculous 🤦🏿♂️
Amazing response from FB. So now doctored videos of public figures is OK. Wow. These people at FB need a brain transplant.
Yet again more evidence that ‘conservative voices have been silenced’ is all a sham and Facebook has been working with the right wing the entire time. All the influencing campaigns run by Cambridge Analytica ran directly through Facebook and Zuck rightfully lost billions.
What is fake about it?
If there was a similar video of Zuckerberg what would they do?
Their minds are being manipulated by technology. It's a deception and a form of fraud. It should come down.
They're just afraid he'll go on another rampage against them.
It’s not fake, the frame rates are different. That’s her alight, stuttering and stammering away. Says “three” while holding up two fingers,
Make up their own minds about what? That Facebook aids and abets fraud and deceit?
Trump is lucky -- his natural speech is so incoherent to begin with that it cannot be made worse by manipulation.
Yeah, cuz that worked so well in 2016. Didn’t it facebook?
You don't 'make up your mind' about something that we know to be factually true. They're allowing people to be misled.
Facebook has become a place for conservatives to spread their lies! I dropped facebook last year. Let the Russians and the Racists, have it!
Problem with that is a good majority do not possess critical thinking skills and are undereducated. That is how you influence and recruit.
🔴FREEDOM OF SPEECH🔴 When will unhinged, crazy, fascist leftists realize we really do have a First Amendment.
Facebook’s spokesperson is clueless (but correct.) Once a “This is fake” label is affixed the video is pure political satire, not unlike an SNL sketch or an edgy political cartoon. That’s the argument facebook should be making.
There is no “leaning in” to that decision.
Are you fucking kidding me.
What? How is that remotely ok
No. Absolutely not. How idiotic. It is way past time that social media gets regulated.
This is exactly why Facebook is a sham.
We all know it’s a fake so it doesn’t matter . Down to important things like getting rid of deranged donnie
Wait, what will all of those RWNJs do, you know, the ones with the two ❌❌ before & after their names; it seems Pelosi is copping it worse than them! And if their accounts are ShadoBanned. WHY do I have to keep seeing thir ignorant rantings on here?🙄
Users shoud make up their own mind What the f is this how the hell people should know if something is fake and since when we are feeding people with fake news and saying people should make up their own mind I am begging for Americans to vote blue in 2020 we gotta do something
There are many live videos of Nancy that show what she really is. People HAVE made up their minds about her already. She's pathetic.
This is why I deleted Facebook.
Well, The Daily Caller, you know Tucker Carlson's rag is one of their fact verifiers, so there's that. They don't care. I guarantee if someone posted the same thing about Trump, they'd make it come down. Pronto.
Not fake
The problem is that most can't. And, many of them are seniors and Trump supporters. I had to explain to my elderly parents, who still vote, that the video wasn't 'real.'
Hate FB. Left long time ago.
