The social media company also said it would remove any deliberately misleading manipulated media likely to cause harm, including content that could result in threats to physical safety, widespread civil unrest, voter suppression or privacy risks.
Social media companies are under pressure to tackle the emerging threat of “deep fake” videos, which use artificial intelligence to create hyper-realistic but fabricated videos in which a person appears to say or do something they did not.
YouTube said earlier this week that it will remove any content that has been technically manipulated or doctored and may pose a “serious risk of egregious harm,” while TikTok, owned by China’s ByteDance, issued a broad ban on “misleading information” last month.
Facebook said last month that it would remove deep fakes and some other manipulated videos from its platform, but would leave up satirical content, as well as videos edited “solely to omit or change the order of words.”
