Facebook and Twitter Remove Manipulated Video From Trump's Accounts After DMCA Complaint
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Facebook has removed a manipulated video posted on President Trump's account after receiving a copyright complaint from the rights owners. The manipulated video shows a black toddler running away from a white toddler, with a CNN chyron reading "terrified toddler runs from racist baby." The original video, which went viral last year, sees the total opposite, with the two toddlers running toward each other on the sidewalk so they can hug. Facebook took the video down after "one of the children's parents lodged a copyright claim," according to CNN. A Facebook representative confirmed to The Verge that a complaint was received by the rights holder. It had more than four million views by the time Facebook removed it, according to CNN. Jukin Media, a third-party company that often acquires the rights from people to viral videos, told CNN that "neither the video owner nor Jukin Media gave the President permission to post the video, and after our review, we believe that his unauthorized usage of the content is a clear example of copyright infringement without valid fair use or other defense." Jukin Media has also filed a copyright claim complaint to Twitter, according to a statement posted on the company's account. While Twitter labeled the video as "manipulated media," it was still active on the President's account until Friday evening. Twitter has since taken down the video due to the DMCA notice from Jukin Media. "Per our copyright policy, we respond to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorized representatives," a Twitter spokesperson told The Verge.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
