MANIPULATED footage of Poe 'wanting to bar Facebook' revived

A spliced video of Sen. Grace Poe “wanting to block Facebook” in the country is once again making rounds on social media.

Facebook page DU30 MEDIA Network published on Feb. 17 an edited two-and-a-half minute clip taken from the four-hour footage of a January 2018 Senate hearing on fake news.

DU30 MEDIA Network deliberately excluded a crucial part of the senator’s statement prior to posing the question to Disini.
