Alex Jones, a well-known US conspiracy theorist, claims in a post on X: "Millions of Venezuelans flooded the streets of Caracas and other major cities to celebrate the fall of communist dictator Nicolas Maduro."

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: False. The video is not related to current events. A Google reverse image search shows that the video is from 2024 (or even older). It was published, for example, on Facebook in summer 2024. The same video also appeared on various other accounts at the same time in 2024.

米国によるマドゥーロ大統領拘束を喜ぶ民衆?

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The video was not filmed after Maduro’s detention by the United States: the review identifies it as footage from Venezuela’s 2024 presidential election. The source says matching footage was posted on July 30 and 31, 2024, and that one example identifies the location and date as Francisco de Miranda Avenue in Caracas on July 30. [S1]

The viral video claims Shah Rukh Khan defended Mustafizur Rahman’s inclusion in KKR while criticising Gautam Adani and “Hindu–Muslim politics.”

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that the video uses footage from Shah Rukh Khan’s 2014 Google interaction with Sundar Pichai, with altered audio. Its review says the full interaction contained no references to Mustafizur Rahman, Gautam Adani, Bangladesh or related political issues, and that an audio-detection tool flagged the clip as a deepfake.

A short video on Instagram that gained more than 4.5 million views supposedly shows Venezuelans in the streets celebrating Maduro's arrest.

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: Fake. The video is not real but AI-generated. The people in the video appear highly emotional: Some hug each other, others cry or scream, some stand still. On closer inspection, several inconsistencies typical of AI-generated videos become apparent. For example, the raised finger of a man flickers and disappears. Another man's hand appears deformed. Additionally, the jewelry of several people looks fragmented and incomplete.
