Good to know

Wrong voting dates, 'you can vote by text', deepfaked candidate clips. Applies before, during and after elections.

Can FYProof spot it?

A full check of your video looks for it in what's shown, what's said, the words on screen and the caption. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.

  • Video: looked at for this rule
  • Speech: looked at for this rule
  • On-screen text: looked at for this rule
  • Caption: looked at for this rule
  • Hashtags: not for this rule

Sounds other than speech, such as music, aren't checked.

Platforms change their rules often. This page sums up what Pinterest publishes; it isn't legal advice.
