Les Émirats arabes unis ont gelé l'exécution d'un contrat d'achat de 80 avions de combat avec la France suite à l'arrestation de Pavel Durov.

Publisher’s rating: Il n’existe aucune preuve que les Émirats arabes unis aient gelé un contrat d’achat de 80 avions de chasse en raison de l’arrestation de Pavel Durov. La vidéo d’Al Jazeera qui est censée servir de source est fausse.

The review found no evidence that the UAE froze the French fighter-jet order in response to Durov’s arrest. It also reports that the purported Al Jazeera video was not found on the outlet’s website or YouTube channel and did not match its style.

Aquecimento global não seria real

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The review says the post used footage of a controlled burn out of context to cast doubt on global warming. It reports that the video showed a real land-management practice, not evidence against global warming, and states that human activity contributes to the process.

Vacinas contra a Covid matam

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review found that a viral post used an edited 2018 TV report about deaths after yellow-fever vaccination to imply that the report concerned COVID vaccines. The original report discussed yellow fever, and the review says the edits changed both the video and its caption; the presenter did not say that COVID vaccines kill.

米大統領選でトランプ氏が大きくリード

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

A viral video presented polling figures that showed Trump far ahead, but the review says those figures were for white voters without college degrees, not voters overall. It reports that the overall polling described in the review showed a close race, and that a CNN survey of debate watchers found 63% said Harris had outperformed Trump.

The video shows a pro-Palestinian protest on Vauxhall Bridge on 11 November 2023, not the London demonstration of 7 September 2024. Neither protest drew one million people, according to the review.
