I am concerned about this content.
It is labeled as “Altered or Synthetic.”

This can mean the content was significantly altered, even changing the meaning. According to YouTube:
Here are three ways altered content requires labeling:
“ * Makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn’t do
* Alters footage of a real event or place
* Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn’t actually occur.”

I have been seeing something like this done repeatedly regarding Jasmine Crockett. I had to dig into the content poster’s notes before I found the disclaimers. Unfortunately, the faked video had been picked up as original by reposters.

The least we can do is isolate this content. But, since THE TRUTH is involved, I believe we should not allow altered content here. Realistically, some of us are not so sophisticated as to be able to spot these fakes.

Here is more, but not all of YouTube’s explanation. It can be viewed at the post in question.

“ Disclosing use of altered or synthetic content
We encourage creators’ innovative and responsible use of content editing or generation tools. At the same time, we recognize that viewers want to know if what they’re watching or listening to is real.
To help keep viewers informed about the content they're viewing, we require creators to disclose content that is meaningfully altered or synthetically generated when it seems realistic.
Creators must disclose content that:
* Makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn’t do
* Alters footage of a real event or place
* Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn’t actually occur
This could include content that is fully or partially altered or created using audio, video or image creation or editing tools.
Disclose using the ‘altered content’ setting in YouTube Studio
To disclose content that is meaningfully altered or synthetically generated, the ‘altered content’ setting is available to creators using YouTube Studio on a computer or mobile device. We’ll expand this setting to other devices and YouTube apps in the future.
After a creator selects this field and uploads content, a label will appear in their video’s expanded description.
Creators who make a post or YouTube Short using Dream Trackor Dream Screen, YouTube's generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, don't need to take extra steps to disclose. The tool will automatically disclose the use of AI for creators. For other AI tools, creators need to disclose their use during the upload flow.
Examples of altered or synthetic content
The following list includes examples of altered or synthetic content. Altered or synthetic content can include content that is fully or partially altered or created using any audio, video, image creation or editing tools. Realistic content and meaningful changes require disclosure, while unrealistic or minor edits don’t. Keep in mind, this isn’t a complete list.

• Applying beauty filters • Digitally generating or altering content to replace the face of one individual with another's
• Synthetically generating or extending a backdrop to simulate a moving car • Digitally altering a famous car chase scene to include a celebrity who wasn’t in the original movie
• Using effects to enhance previously recorded audio • Simulating audio to make it sound as if a medical professional gave advice when the professional did not actually give that advice
• Using an AI-generated animation of a missile in a video • Showing a realistic depiction of a missile fired toward a real city

We can't even be bothered to do basic fact-checking when an inflammatory provides a link to fact-based source content.
