The unaltered footage showed \u200bBiden giving \u2064his\u200c granddaughter an &#8220;I voted&#8221; sticker.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, Meta deemed the video acceptable since it was not a &#8220;deepfake,&#8221; which involves modifying the speaker&#8217;s \u2064audio. The board upheld Meta&#8217;s decision but criticized its\u2064 &#8220;incoherent&#8221; and &#8220;confusing&#8221; policy on\u200d deepfakes, urging the company \u200dto update it. Oversight Board Co-Chairman Michael McConnell stated that the policy bans altered videos of \u200cpeople saying \u200bthings they didn&#8217;t\u200d say but\u200c doesn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/youtube-censors-video-of-school-board-meeting-on-mask-mandates\/\" title=\"YouTube Censors Video of School Board Meeting on Mask Mandates\">prohibit videos<\/a> of individuals doing things they didn&#8217;t do.
