Anunciada nesta semana, a nova política do Facebook para vídeos falsos produzidos com ajuda de inteligência artificial é um passo importante para o combate à desinformação on-line, mas não tem eficácia em relação ao problema dos conteúdos inverídicos que são esperados para as eleições de 2020 nos países democráticos, entre eles os Estados Unidos e o Brasil.

At the big international news media conferences, everyone anticipates the blockbuster presentations by the well-known national and international companies that drive the industry’s digital transformation.
But not every media company is a big one, and what applies to the giants might not apply in local markets.

A growing number of investigative journalists and news organizations around the world are investing more resources in covering China from afar.
Why it matters: The Chinese Communist Party claims China’s rise offers the world an alternative to western leadership and values. In the coming decade, journalism is vital to understanding exactly what kind of global leader China will be.

 As the local news marketplace transforms, these new ways of doing business could take hold next year and beyond.
Predictions are a tricky business, but there is one sure thing for 2020: local news publishers cannot depend on the old ways of doing business. The time for chain newspapers wielding a monopoly in communities is ending, and more independent and nonprofit news organizations are taking root around the country and making sure that watchdog journalism continues to thrive.

This is not a new tactic, but one coming back into fashion as publishers are squeezed to extract more value from their advertising businesses. But as is the case with other tactics designed to drum up more ad revenue, publishers must contend with how flagrant examples of this practice impede the user experience.

O Facebook anunciou ontem que vai começar a remover vídeos com graus de manipulação de sua rede social. A medida visa especialmente reduzir os danos causados por deepfakes – vídeos falsos produzidos com ajuda de inteligência artificial (IA), que misturam rostos e corpos ou fazem uma pessoa dizer algo que na verdade não falou. É uma tecnologia recente, mas que pode causar bastante estrago, especialmente em períodos eleitorais.
