Sebuah video testimoni mantan pemain judi online (judol) bernama Bayu Erlangga yang mengatakan pernah menang hingga Rp300 juta dari situs judol Tiket100 beredar di Facebook.

Publisher’s rating: video Bayu Erlangga pernah menang Rp300-an juta di situs judol Tiket100 adalah keliru. Video merupakan hasil rekayasa menggunakan AI-generated audio.

The review says Bayu did recount winning about Rp300 million in one withdrawal, but not from Tiket100; it says he did not name the site in the podcast. The Facebook clip was manipulated to make it appear that he named Tiket100.

An MP listed a series of economic statistics in a social media post, followed by the phrase “in other words it’s a ‘recession’”. The post read: “Buyers Remorse Anyone? UK growth 1.1% in first half of 2024, 0.1% second half. Since the election inflation up, unemployment up, growth snuffed out by big tax rises on jobs and business. In other words it’s a ‘recession’.”

Publisher’s rating: By the most common definition, the UK is not currently in a recession. Some of the statistics listed in the post are not fully up to date.

"Wir wollen das österreichische Modell. Da hat der Durchschnittsrentner 840 Euro mehr im Monat als bei uns, bei gleicher Lebensleistung. Österreich ist durchaus mit uns vergleichbar."

Publisher’s rating: Großteils richtig. Zwar bewegt sich die von Ernst genannte Zahl in einem laut Berechnungen realistischen Rahmen. Allerdings ergeben verschiedene Grundlagen und Methoden für diese Berechnungen unterschiedliche absolute Zahlen für die Rentenhöhe in den beiden Ländern. Das deutsche und das österreichische System sind ähnlich, es gibt aber auch Unterschiede.
