Ok where's the line on deceptive media? A deepfake obviously has concrete criteria to identify it. What about a little spin? Cropping out a piece of a picture or a few seconds of a video? Muting a crucial bit of audio? What about that silly scenario where a reporter goes out in a kayak to show flooded streets and a cheeky passerby walks behind them in knee-high galoshes? Those all seem deceptive. I don't trust Twitter to have my best interests at heart when deciding. Then again, I don't use Twitter so I don't really care.
- bilekas 7y ago> What about a little spin? If the 'spin' consists of a lie, then how could you even consider it true ? 10% false and 90% truth does not result in a diluted truth or half truth: 'Half True' is an oxymoron. The content is take as a whole. If I said to you : "You need glasses with a light on them because at night its always dark" - Thats spin. If I said : "The sun is gone forever so you need glasses with a light on them" - Thats bullshit. Use your common sense. And if its a 'grey' area then you can't call it fake can you ? https://media.tenor.com/images/c731ffc70a71d8a89b5e3581953f97b0/tenor.gif https://media.tenor.com/images/c731ffc70a71d8a89b5e3581953f9...
- 3fe9a03ccd14ca5 7y agoA personal overconfidence in what is true and untrue is exactly why I’m against these types of censorship policies. If you don’t think personal bias can bend and distort your personal, non-objective “truth” then you haven’t been paying attention to history.
- blackearl 7y agoRefer back to a cropped image or video. It's not a lie, it's a truth shaped to fit a narrative.
