Facebook announced a new policy Tuesday to ban ‘deepfake’ videos on its platform following years of criticism for its decision to allow various forms of misinformation to circulate without any checks in place.

Jim Braude was joined by Heidi Legg, director of special projects at Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center for Media, Politics and Public Policy, and Michael Serazio, an associate professor of communication at Boston College, spoke with Jim Braude on Greater Boston Tuesday about the policy's implications.
