Facebook Inc chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg said on June 26 that Facebook made an “execution mistake” when it didn’t act fast enough to identify a doctored video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last month. 

Zuckerberg, speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, said Facebook should have caught the video sooner, which was edited so that Pelosi looked like she was slurring her words. It took Facebook more than a day to label the video as “fake”, at which point its distribution was limited by Facebook’s algorithms.
