mages showing the technological upgrades in the Indian Railways before and after the BJP government in the country

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The post presented two photographs as evidence of technological upgrades in Indian Railways before and after the BJP government: one showed railway staff cleaning with mops, and the other showed staff using sweeping machinery. The review checked the pictures’ origins using reverse image searches and found that both were taken in 2020, during the BJP government—not in separate periods before and after it. The first image was traced to a Reuters photograph published on 11 May 2020. Its caption identified the scene as workers cleaning a platform at Howrah Junction, outside Kolkata, after India announced a limited reopening of its rail network following a nearly seven-week COVID-19 lockdown. The second image was found in a post by Eastern Railway dated 13 August 2020. That post described intensive cleaning at Asansol as part of Swachhta Saptah, observed from 10 to 16 August 2020. Thus, the comparison gives the photos a misleading chronology: the review’s evidence places both scenes in 2020, rather than establishing a before-and-after change in railway technology across the start of BJP government. The review identifies the first image as manual platform cleaning at Howrah and the second as cleaning at Asansol; it does not establish that the difference between the pictured methods resulted from a government-era technological upgrade.

Tesla is launching its own phone Model Pi/P.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The claim concerns a Tesla phone reportedly called Model Pi/P, with a social-media post asserting Tesla would launch its first-generation satellite phone. The review says the rumor followed a YouTube video and specifies an alleged launch date of 21 December 2022. Its central question was whether Elon Musk had officially announced the phone’s launch. The review describes a keyword search for leads about Tesla and the satellite-phone rumor. It reports finding a Lifewire article that said there was no credible evidence that a Tesla phone existed. The review also says the video behind many of the rumors came from adrstudiodesign and presented the designer’s ideas, not real Tesla leaks or product details. This evidence addresses the claim’s purported basis, but the excerpt does not describe an independent examination of Tesla product plans. The review adds two pieces of context about Musk: he had called phones and smartwatches “yesterday’s technology” in 2020, and in November 2022 said he would make an alternative phone if there were no other choice after Liz Wheeler raised the possibility of Apple and Google removing Twitter from their app stores. The review distinguishes that conditional response from an announcement that Tesla was launching a specific Model Pi/P phone. It concludes that Tesla or Musk had made no official satellite-phone launch announcement.

L'Australie introduit un système de crédit social pour accéder aux réseaux sociaux.

Publisher’s rating: Cette discussion remonte à avril 2021. À l’époque, une proposition visant à limiter les abus en ligne avec un système de points pour s’identifier sur les réseaux sociaux a été abordée. Mais celle-ci n’a pas été retenue.

The claim concerns a purported Australian system requiring people to earn 100 identification points to keep access to social-media accounts. The review traces the claim to a 9News report broadcast on 2 April 2021 about a parliamentary inquiry made public the previous day. It says the broadcast discussed an idea in the inquiry, not an adopted or implemented policy: “Les journalistes parlent d’une des idées proposées dans ce rapport, en expliquant que celle-ci est examinée par les autorités australiennes. Mais à aucun moment ils ne disent qu’il s’agit d’un projet dont la mise en œuvre est actée.” (S1) The proposal appeared in recommendation 30 of an inquiry into domestic, family and sexual violence. It suggested requiring 100 identification points to open or retain a social-media account, with the stated aim of making it easier to identify people responsible for online offences. The recommendation was not carried forward: the review says it was absent from the subsequent online-harassment bill, which itself was never passed. (S1) The review distinguishes that proposal from a separate law adopted in September 2021. That law expanded police powers in relation to online offences, including powers to alter or delete data and take control of an account; it did not establish the 100-point identification requirement. The review concludes that no social-credit system restricting social-media access was in force in Australia as of 1 January 2023. (S1)

Telsa is launching its new satellite phone, known as the Tesla Model Pi

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The claim concerns a social-media video presenting a Tesla satellite phone called the Model Pi as an upcoming product. FACTLY reports that the video narrator names the phone and that its post description lists purported specifications. The review’s central finding is that Tesla had not announced such a smartphone: it says, “There is no official announcement from Tesla about the launch of their smartphone.” To check for an announcement, the review says it searched the internet for relevant news reports and found no credible reports. It also points to articles from Tech Insider and Life Wire, which it describes as treating the alleged phone’s release as speculation. These findings address whether the product had been officially announced; the excerpt does not describe independent verification of the phone specifications shown in the social-media post. The review distinguishes the Model Pi rumor from two statements by Elon Musk. It reports that Musk had called smartphones and smartwatches “yesterday’s technology” in a September 14, 2020 tweet, and that on November 25, 2022 he said he would make an alternative phone if Apple and Google removed Twitter from their app stores. The review presents the latter as a conditional response, not an announcement of a Tesla satellite phone or Model Pi.
