"But dealing with deepfakes is a step but not enough," Gregory added. "They need to make sure they take clearer steps to reduce spread of known false and inflammatory videos more quickly, and they need to provide better tools to users and journalists to understand how something has been manipulated."Because the policy protects videos intended as satire, many deepfakes will remain online.

Ugh, Facebook just continues to suck.

First Impression of JUST the headline: any policy that's been just made, will have looopholes and faults until the holes get patched. Same with tech, automotive issues, etc. This shouldn't be news.
