Twitter and Facebook have said the video, which is edited to show Pelosi ripping up Trump's speech while he spoke, doesn't violate their policies.
Democrats are outraged after Facebook and Twitter have both refused to remove a video the president tweeted that modified timing of events at last week's State of the Union address to make it appear that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had actually torn up Trump's speech while he was introducing Charles McGee, one of the last living Tuskegee airman.
Story continuesThe president in July, for example, tweeted an edited TIME magazine graphic that showed him remaining as the US president forever. That video was created by a popular Trump-supporting meme account known as"Carpe Donktum," which often tweets doctored videos that end up getting shared by the 45th president.
There was a spat between Pelosi's team and Facebook"The American people know that the President has no qualms about lying to them – but it is a shame to see Twitter and Facebook, sources of news for millions, do the same," Drew Hammill, Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, tweeted about the video Friday. The video doesn't violate Twitter rules, either — at least not yet.Twitter confirmed to Business Insider that the video did not violate its current policy. Twitter announced in a blog post February 4 new rules about doctored media — slated to go into effect on March 5 — though it would not say whether the president's video of Pelosi would be removed if it were tweeted once the new rules were enacted, according to the Daily Mail.
"We understand the desire for our decisions to be 'yes/no' binaries, but it's not that simple," Twitter said at the time."The actions we take and policies we develop will set precedent around online speech and we owe it to the people we serve to be deliberate and considered in what we do."The company has often said it leaves the president's potentially rule-violating content on the platform for discussion purposes.
