JAKARTA - The President of the United States (US) Donald Trump seems to have to change his campaign style on social media. The reason is that some of his campaign video uploads actually violate copyright and fake content.
Recently, Trump's short video posted showing a white toddler chasing a black toddler who appears to be running scared away from him. The video was also given the title 'Toddler (Toddler) who is afraid to run from a racist baby'
The video was viewed 4 million times on Facebook and 20 million times on Twitter before being deleted. Twitter also flagged Trump's posts as potentially 'Media Manipulation'.

In fact, the video Trump uploaded does not match the original recording belonging to one of the toddler's parents. As summarized from Reuters, the parents of one of the toddlers sued the president of the United States for violating copyright and fake content regulations.
In which, the video of the two toddlers was roughly edited by embedding the CNN logo. The video is also reinforced with a narrative that reads "A frightened toddler running from a racist baby."
With the help of the fact-check, Twitter immediately added links from the media regarding videos and news about the two babies. Based on the original title uploaded by CNN, it shows the opposite of what Trump wants to emphasize about racism.
"These two toddlers show us what besties (friendship) looks like in real life," reads the caption in the video, showing the two toddlers hugging and playing together.
Thousands of netizens immediately commented on Trump's video about a racist toddler. They have flocked to protest against Trump for using minors as material for his presidential election campaign.
Why promote a video like this with such ridiculous chyrons? Why not put a headline on it saying, "No one is born racist. It's a learned behavior! "

Prior to this, Facebook had also removed several sets of Trump's campaign ads for allegedly violating hate speech regulations. Some of them are even known to violate copyright content in the use of campaigns on social media.
