Anfang Januar wurden neue Gerichtsdokumente zum Missbrauchsskandal um den mittlerweile verstorbenen US-Millionär Jeffrey Epstein veröffentlicht. Die Dokumente enthielten Namen zahlreicher Prominenter, die mit dem Sexualstraftäter in Verbindung gestanden haben sollen. Kurz darauf teilten Internetnutzende verstärkt ein Bild, das angeblich Taylor Swift mit Epstein zeigt: Sie sitzen zusammen auf einer Mauer und Swift prostet in die Kamera.
Publisher’s rating: Falsch
The image was not manipulated, but the man beside Taylor Swift is not Jeffrey Epstein; the review identifies him as Monte Lipman, founder and CEO of Republic Records. It says a reverse-image search and further online material supported that identification.

Video depicting the apprehension of demonstrators in Mira Road for engaging in stone-pelting during the consecration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The review finds that the video shows an earlier police action in Hyderabad, not the Mira Road disturbances. It says the footage depicts police apprehending protesters in Shalibanda in August 2022, amid protests related to BJP leader T Raja Singh’s comments about Prophet Muhammad.
Aaron Salter werd vermoord omdat hij een wateraangedreven motor had uitgevonden.
Publisher’s rating: Nee, er is geen enkele aanwijzing dat Salter vermoord zou zijn vanwege zijn vermeende uitvinding. Daarentegen heeft de moordenaar zelf bekend dat hij handelde vanuit racistische motieven. Alle feiten wijzen erop dat dat inderdaad het geval was.

Quer dizer, aí você pergunta, quais as condições que essa galera está”

The review examines the claim that the three were killed for exposing child trafficking. It notes that their deaths occurred within a few days in June 2018 and describes the investigations and their reported histories of mental health problems.
