Facebook deleted the post after receiving a copyright complaint.
Facebook on Friday removed a post by Donald Trump that featured a doctored version of a 2019 viral video that shows two toddlers.
"We received a copyright complaint from the rights holder of this video under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and have removed the post," A spokesman told Business Insider. The original video, which went viral last year, shows a Black child and white child running toward each other and embracing. But the altered version posted by Trump to Twitter and Facebook on Thursday is overlaid with a fake CNN graphic and edited to suggest news footage of the white child chasing the terrified Black child.
