小泉進次郎氏「無理して大学行くな。例えば田舎の旅館の従業員とかになればいい」と発言

Publisher’s rating: 不正確

The review says the claim distorts Koizumi’s remarks at a September 16, 2024 debate. He spoke about expanding options beyond university, including training for careers such as Japanese cuisine, but did not say “don’t force yourself to go to university” or tell people to become inn workers.

Drone incendiário comprado pelo governo federal

Publisher’s rating: FALSO

The review says the video used altered narration to claim that the federal government bought a drone to start fires. It identifies the drone as the IGNIS, used for controlled burns, and reports that the federal government had no purchase record for it; both the manufacturer and the government’s communications office denied its acquisition.

De eerste commerciële ruimtewandeling is in scène gezet

Publisher’s rating: Er is voldoende bewijs voor dat de Polaris Dawn-ruimtemissie wel degelijk heeft plaatsgevonden. Burgerastronaut Jared Isaacman draagt geen zuurstoftank op zijn rug omdat hij steeds met een slang verbonden bleef met de ruimtecapsule.

The review says Polaris Dawn’s first commercial spacewalk was real, though Isaacman remained connected to the capsule by an oxygen hose. On September 12, 2024, he climbed outside the spacecraft for about ten minutes at roughly 730 kilometers above Earth.
