Two of the world’s largest internet platforms have recently announced plans to ban “manipulated” photos and videos, specifically if they are related to the 2020 election.

On Monday, YouTube revealed a new policy in which the company will delete “manipulated or doctored” videos concerning the election.

The Google-owned video platform desires to be a “more reliable source” for news and claims to be pursuing a more “healthy political discourse.”

Just days later, Twitter released a video advertisement “introducing a new rule and a label that will address this and give people more context around” tweets containing “manipulated photos or videos that can cause people harm.”

“If a video in your timeline has been altered, it will be labeled as ‘Manipulated media,’” the ad says while showing a blurred out video of President Trump speaking.

Twitter then instructs users to “tap the label to view info from reputable sources,” so mainstream media links explaining how the clip was “altered” can be found.

The official rule reads, “You may not deceptively share synthetic or manipulated media that are likely to cause harm. In addition, we may label Tweets containing synthetic and manipulated media to help people understand their authenticity and to provide context.”

However, throughout the past few years, Americans have seen videos that are blatantly edited or altered to mock or point out logical fallacies of Democrats get labeled “fake” and “doctored.”

For example, President Trump retweeted a meme by Carpe Donktum in April of 2019 showing Joe Biden creepily sniffing himself and the mainstream media freaked out and claimed it was “doctored.”
