Hurd said the controversy over the original video, which Facebook has said it will not remove, illustrates the lack of readiness by responding to misinformation.

"We have old laws to decide how to handle disinformation. You have leaders who do not understand how this technology can be used in the future. This goes back to this whole conversation about disinformation, and how do we do that, he says. "And it's not just the government alone. It's not just the social media companies. There are also media, academia involved in trying to do this."
