As expected, Donald Trump is back on X/twitter. Note that the post contains text: "Never surrender!" together with his mugshot 😂
This picture is popular and is being shared as a real example of pareidolia. The face of Brazilian President Lula da Silva was generated with AI. It was overlayed on top of a landscape photo. https://www.malumatfurus.org/insan-yuzu-seklinde-manzara/ #factcheck

That image was generated by #Midjourney AI. You can see lots of AI generated pics being shared as real on X and other platforms. This is the first I've seen on Mastodon
Uri Geller posted this on X. He claims the image shows alien bodies in a NASA refrigerator. Those are actually props for X-files tv-series. https://hoaxeye.com/2017/06/13/area-51-aliens/ #factcheck I miss the simple spoon bending tricks.
Area 51 aliens?

Is this a photo of aliens from the Roswell crash? Hint: X-files

Jim Ferguson, a “social media influencer”, blames the wildfires in Greece on illegal immigrants. He posted a video that was actually from 2019.

We don’t have time for conspiracy theories or playing the blame-game when it comes to the climate crisis.

Flüchtlinge randalieren auf dem Weg nach Europa? Desinformation war Grund für Unruhen in Griechenland

In dem Video sieht man einen Mann, der trockenes Gras auf ein kleines Feuer legt, eine blonde Frau, die einen Kinderwagen über Schotter schiebt und erbost auf Englisch ruft: „Das ist ein Baby. Was soll das?“. Man sieht Feuer am Wegesrand und einen Mann, der sich immer wieder hinkniet, wohl um etwas anzuzünden. Im Postingtext […]

Dom Lucre falsely claims the video clip shows a 60-year old predator caught meeting his 16-year old Tiktok crush. The clip originates from a YouTube channel called LuxuryPranks.

Another popular false #antisemitic claim - which isn’t a new one - is about “magical 6 million figure”.

Six Million population figure mentioned in several pre-WWII American news stories about Jews allegedly confirms there was no #holocaust

There are too many TikTok videos, Twitter and Facebook posts with this false claim. Facts: https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2022/12/fact-check-six-million-figure-in-pre-wwii-us-newspapers-does-not-confirm-there-was-no-holocaust.html #factcheck

Less moderation means more hate.

All claims in the example tweet are wrong.

I was bit surprised to see The Protocols of the Elders of Zion mentioned. Don’t they know it’s a fabricated #antisemitic #hoax ?

Those who “do their own research” are clearly incapable of doing any real research.

This AI generated picture is very popular on Twitter right now. Millions of views, tens of thousands of retweets and likes for one tweet. I don't remember when a real nature photograph received this much attention. #factcheck #stablediffusion
