cover of The Standard newspaper, dated 3 June 2025, bearing the headline “The Mafia Cop”
Publisher’s rating: Altered
post on TikTok claiming to show news reports about a surge in COVID-19 cases in Uganda in June 2025
Publisher’s rating: False
Visuals show the 12 June 2025 crash of an Air India flight that took off from Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The review found that none of the circulated visuals were related to the Ahmedabad crash. It traced them to earlier incidents, including crashes in Kozhikode, Mangalore, Nepal and South Korea.

(Imagen) “Caos total en la ciudad de Los Ángeles por tercer día consecutivo”: #Engañoso
Publisher’s rating: Engañoso
Claim: In this post on X, with over 49,000 views at the time of writing, the claim is shared that the photographs were taken in Afghanistan in 2021. The same claim has been made in this TikTok video that has been viewed over 215,000 times.
Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: False The photos were published by the San Francisco Chronicle on June 9, 2025. The newspaper, based in California, states that they obtained the photographs. Reverse image searches (like here and here) also do not reveal any older versions of the photographs, which means they have most likely not been published on the internet before. They do lead to similar images of National Guard personnel lying on the ground, like these taken in parking garages in the US in 2021, as news reports from that time show. Those photographs do not match the images in the claim, however, as the latter lack white walls with red stripes. Additionally, in the older news reports we see people wearing face masks, as 2021 was still the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. No masks are worn in the pictures of the current claims. In the post's comment section, some users turned to Grok, X's AI chatbot, to try to verify the time and place the photographs were taken. Grok first indicated that they were taken in Afghanistan in 2021. Upon further questioning, Grok then suggests they may have been taken at the US Capitol in 2021, before replying it is "9 out of 10 certain the photos are from 2025," pointing to the unreliability of the answers of the AI chatbot. We reached out to the San Francisco Chronicle to obtain more detailed information. The well-known newspaper confirmed the authenticity of the photos and shared an article in which it responds to the circulating claims showing the photographs being taken out of context. It includes a comment from the US Defense Department made to the fact checking organization Snopes, also confirming that the photographs "appear to be authentic."
The viral photo shows Rahul Gandhi kissing Priyanka Gandhi while both wear Muslim caps during Bakrid celebrations in 2025.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The review says the viral photo was digitally altered: the original image from the Bharat Jodo Yatra in January 2023 showed no caps. It concludes that the image was unrelated to Bakrid 2025.
"From now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests."
Publisher’s rating: No such federal law broadly bans masks at protests
اطلاعیه هشداردهنده سازمان نظام پزشکی درباره توصیه‌های خطرناک برای سلامتی مردم

Publisher’s rating: झूठ
Claim: "OVERNIGHT IN LA: Illegal Aliens light themselves on FIRE after dousing Jeep with gasoline and lighting it." This is claimed in a post on X with nearly 2.8 million views. Along with the claim, a video is shared showing a group of young people pouring gasoline on a Jeep before it explodes in flames. The same footage has been widely shared across platforms including YouTube and Instagram, all claiming it shows part of the current unrest in Los Angeles.
Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: False. The video is not related to the current protests. It first appeared online in March 2024 and shows a street takeover in Los Angeles' Hyde Park neighborhood, unrelated to immigration raids or migrant protests. A visible watermark in several versions of the clip links it to an Instagram account that regularly posts viral videos of car crashes, explosions and street racing scenes. The video was published on that account on March 9, 2024. A reverse image search leads to a Daily Mail article from March 2024 featuring screenshots from the same video and providing details of the street takeover, referring to when a group of people meet to showcase their cars and driving abilities. Searching keywords related to the Hyde Park incident in Los Angeles also yields additional reports and images from local outlets, confirming the video's original context.
