Beleaguered social media platform Facebook is stepping up its game against media manipulation. Recognizing that deepfake content poses a real threat to society, Zuck’s social network swears to ban all such content from its platform, starting now.
A blog post by Monika Bickert, Vice President of Global Policy Management, describes how the company plans to address not just deepfakes but many other types of manipulated media in 2020, an election year for Americans.
“Our approach has several components, from investigating AI-generated content and deceptive behaviors like fake accounts, to partnering with academia, government and industry to exposing people behind these efforts,” Bickert writes.
