Facebook said that a video doctored to depict Nancy Pelosi slurring her words will remain on the social network because false information alone does not violate the site's rules
The incarnation of the video, posted to a Facebook page called Politics WatchDog, that caught the greatest media attention after first being spotted by the Washington Post Thursday didn't have any fact-checking information tagged to it as of Friday afternoon. At that point, it had been viewed roughly 2.5 million times.
The video, which uses real footage of Pelosi slowed down by 25 percent, has circulated widely since Thursday. It comes amid a pitched battle between Pelosi and President Donald Trump, with each leader depicting the other as incompetent. And it is the latest chapter in an ongoing debate over how and whether companies like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube should police their networks for problematic content.

Google subsidiary YouTube made a different decision, saying in a statement, "YouTube has clear policies that outline what content is not acceptable to post and we remove videos violating these policies when flagged to us. These videos violated our policies and have been removed. They also did not surface prominently. In fact, search results and watch next panels about Nancy Pelosi include videos from authoritative sources, usually at the top.
