Trump celebrates, Pelosi fumes as Facebook and Twitter refuse to take down altered video

Facebook and Twitter have refused to take down a video posted by President Donald Trump that was edited to make it appear that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up his speech when the president was saluting a Tuskegee airman during the State of the Union rather than at the end of his address. ... The spat became public Friday when Pelosi's deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill tweeted: "The latest fake video of Speaker Pelosi is deliberately designed to mislead and lie to the American people, and every day that these platforms refuse to take it down is another reminder that they care more about their shareholders' interests than the public's interests."

Also headlined "the edited Pelosi video", the "misleading video of Nancy Pelosi" by other sympathetic publishers. Trump's 5-minute self-promo titled "Powerful American Stories Ripped to Shreds by Nancy Pelosi" is here. Pelosi's video recorded gesture was not altered; it was duplicated thirteen (13) times and inserted between each dubious achievement proclaimed by Trump in his video recorded SOTU speech.

Video of Pelosi brings renewed attention to 'cheapfakes', formerly-known-as instant replay to sportsfans worldwide

Pelosi did tear the pages of her copy of the speech -- but only after it was finished, and not throughout the address, as the video depicts.

stop. the. presses.

Researchers worry the video's "selective editing" could mislead people if social media companies don't step in and properly label or regulate similar videos.

Wakanda is real.
