Facebook founder the focus of doctored video

-

Three weeks after Facebook refused to remove a doctored video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slurring her words, Mark Zuckerberg is getting a taste of his own medicine: fake footage showing him gloating over his one-man domination of the world. It’s the latest flap over deviously altered “deepfake” videos as Facebook and other social media services struggle to stop the spread of misinforma­tion and “fake news” while also respecting free speech and fending off allegation­s of censorship. The somewhat crude video of the Facebook CEO, created as part of an art project and circulated on Facebook-owned Instagram over the past few days, combines news footage of Zuckerberg with phony audio.
