අලුත් 2000 නෝට්ටුවට සමාන ව්‍යාජ මුදල් නෝට්ටුවක් ?

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says the viral comparison image was generated with Gemini AI and that the notes shown have visible spelling errors. It also reports that a genuine Rs. 2,000 note’s security thread appears as a single line when held to light, but says this test alone cannot establish whether a note is counterfeit; police had not officially confirmed circulation of counterfeit Rs. 2,000 notes.

Publisher’s rating: False

Fact Crescendo reports that Energy Minister Kumara Jayakody denied making a comment on tariff revisions and said no final adjustment decision had been made. The Ministry’s Media Division also confirmed that no such statement had been issued. The review concludes that the circulating claim about an increase being pursued without government involvement was inaccurate.

Claim: This TikTok video, with over 360,000 views, claims the German government has fixed gasoline prices at €3 ($3.50) per liter.

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: Fake. The video combines visuals of Friedrich Merz, stock footage and a banner with the words "Fuel price shock: Fixed at €3 — now it's serious!" Although the regulation of price fluctuation and CO2 price increases have been discussed in Germany, no official announcement has fixed the prices at €3. The current price is set at €1.64 per liter. Such a drastic increase would have a huge financial impact on many people. We also analyzed the technical part of the video: The voice-over shows several anomalies, including noticeable glitches. Not only that, AI detection tools such as HIVE indicate a 69.6% likelihood that the content contains AI-generated or deepfake elements.
