Facebook is defending its decision to allow politicians to lie in online political advertising. The social media giant has announced that such political advertisements are exempt from its third-party fact-checking reviews. Facebook employs several fact-checking organizations to try to curb the spread of disinformation on its platform.

There have been a lot of concerns of late about the dangers of deepfakes, but at least one company is hoping to share a different message. Canny AI, a startup based in Tel Aviv, released a deepfake video earlier this year that is not trying to deceive anyone. The video demonstrates an extraordinary rendition of “Imagine,” the single written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Sometimes politics makes strange bedfellows. An online news report says the National Rifle Association is teaming up with one of its staunchest critics, David Hogg, the Parkland shooting survivor and gun control activist. The NRA is said to have invited Hogg to join its advisory board, according to a source familiar with the matter.
