A rep for Twitter said: 'Per our copyright policy, we respond to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorized representatives.' Before removing the doctored video, Twitter marked the clip, which showed a black toddler running from a 'racist' white boy, as 'manipulated media'. President Trump on Thursday shared a doctored video with a CNN chyron that reads: 'Terrified toddler runs from racist baby'. Trump made the comments in a Twitter post linking to a news story about the decision by Twitter and Facebook to remove the clip. Trump's executive order said websites such as Twitter and Facebook 'wield immense, if not unprecedented, power to shape the interpretation of public events'.
