SSFB Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/07/facebook-and-twitter-decline-pelosi-request-to-delete-trump-video.html?__source=sharebar|facebook&par=sharebar&fbclid=IwAR3gMKCYyzWtRbwJ9dPkM-KIvibdrltS4N1xf5O8SZzbjJ5lxFXOoi86ybU Quote A fierce behind-the-scenes dispute between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office and Facebook erupted into public view Friday, as the speaker’s office demanded that Facebook remove a video posted online by President Donald Trump. The video in question showed Pelosi’s viral State of the Union moment ripping up the text of Trump’s speech Tuesday night, but was edited to make it appear that she ripped the speech even as Trump saluted a Tuskegee airman in the audience. In fact, Pelosi’s speech-ripping gesture came at the end of the president’s speech, and her office said it was in response to the totality of the speech and what Pelosi saw as misinformation in it. The video, labeled “Powerful American stories ripped to shreds by Nancy Pelosi,” was posted on both Facebook and Twitter. Trump tweeted the video from his Twitter account just before 6 p.m. Thursday to his more than 72 million followers. Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump 184K 4:53 PM - Feb 6, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 98.8K people are talking about this Within hours, the speaker’s office was demanding both social media companies remove the video, arguing it was unfair to Pelosi, who actually stood and applauded the airman during the speech. Both Facebook and Twitter decided against removing the Trump video, although the companies cited different reasons for their decisions. The dispute became public Friday when Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, posted a link to a criticism of the video Friday afternoon, writing “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.” Andy Stone, a Facebook spokesman, replied to Hammill on Twitter: “Sorry, are you suggesting the President didn’t make those remarks and the Speaker didn’t rip the speech?” Hammill fired back: “What planet are you living on? This is deceptively altered. Take it down.” In the end, both Facebook and Twitter declined to remove the Trump campaign post, citing corporate policies. Facebook’s Stone told CNBC, “I can confirm for you that the video doesn’t violate our policies.” Stone said the company’s policies against altered video specifically refer to video that has been edited to make it appear a person said something they didn’t say or did something they didn’t do. Facebook’s response left Pelosi’s Hammill frustrated. “I think they have a history here of promoting and making money off of content that is intentionally false,” Hammill said. Twitter, for its part, has a new set of policies around manipulated media that the company announced Tuesday. The company imposed a new rule on its users: “You may not deceptively share synthetic or manipulated media that are likely to cause harm. In addition, we may label Tweets containing synthetic and manipulated media to help people understand the media’s authenticity and to provide additional context.” To determine that, Twitter said it would examine videos to ascertain “whether the content has been substantially edited in a manner that fundamentally alters its composition, sequence, timing or framing” as well as looking at “any visual or auditory information (such as new video frames, overdubbed audio or modified subtitles) that has been added or removed.” But that policy doesn’t go into effect until March 5, and Twitter told Pelosi’s office that it will not remove the Trump video under its current rules. Asked if the Trump video would violate Twitter’s policies if it is posted again after March 5, Twitter spokeswoman Katie Rosborough wrote in an email: “I can’t get into hypotheticals.” A Trump campaign spokesman said the president’s reelection effort is unconcerned about Pelosi’s reaction to the video. “If Nancy Pelosi fears images of her ripping up the speech, perhaps she shouldn’t have ripped up the speech,” said Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh. In less than 24 hours, Murtaugh said, the video has received 2.1 million views, has reached almost 5 million people and has been shared more than 23,000 times. It wasn’t immediately clear who actually produced the video in question. The Trump campaign referred that question to the White House, and spokespeople there did not respond to a request for comment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What she did was immature and unnecessary in making a total mockery of the President's speech. She showed no class, couth or any politic/human standards whatsoever, not speaking of her position and the fact that a large portion of America was likely watching. So whatever Trump and company do back to her pales in comparison to what she did. Even though the vid has been modified, the end result, ripping the speech up, says the same thing. She shit on the whole speech and everyone involved within it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, maybe let your newly adopted party know it’s good to think ahead before deciding on a completely ignorant display of petulance because it may backfire. Just tell them to look at where it’s gotten them so far. Well, you may have to explain it.....in crayon. Or, maybe use one of Pelosi ‘s kewl-azz pens? 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member BOHICA Posted February 8, 2020 Gold Member Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Pretty good parody... much like the parody that schiff did of the Ukraine phone call.

Ladies and gentlemen, the DNC. x2. I didn't hear them crying when Schiff went on the house floor and gave an embellished and false recitation of Trumps phone call. Its the constant double standards and hypocrisy with the Democrats. Lets listen in on all of Obamas phone calls and see if we can work the country into a lather about one of those. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, I can’t do anything now because my voters will disapprove and it may cost me the election, but....after I win...FUCK THEM! *crickets. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) It’s important that deception by trump operatives be preserved. It’s no different than the statues in the south of bigots and racists. As such, they need to be preserved. Just like the nazi death camps as well. Those that believe that the video is real will believe regardless of proof showing otherwise.

Members of govt don't get to decide who gets made fun of and who doesn't. If it was Trump they wouldn't be demanding it removed. This is fair game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He creepily walks up behind Clinton while she was speaking at their debate.....no one here thinks that’s wrong. But yeah she ripped up the copy of his speech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
