Some of the atrocities right now ARE real, and spreading fake stories/clips does not help any side. There’s also the risk that sharing a very recent clip will put someone in that clip in harms way.
So agreed, as curious as we are to know more. Hopefully everyone caught up in this find safety

It’s just frustrating that in 2023 people still don’t get this.
Like, we’ve all went through at least a solid decade of it happening online. By now everyone should be better than this at picking out propaganda.
And I think a big part is most countries/organizations have paid teams whose job is to go online and intentionally not understand it.
They’re “time sinks” to make people too tired to keep explaining this 1,000 times a day
