Desinformation: Russische falsche Fake Checkers

Russland streut falsche Fake Check-Videos (via Stephen’s Lighthouse und boingboing.net sowie propublica.org):

“Social media posts debunking purported Ukrainian disinformation are themselves fake. That doesn’t stop them from being featured on Russian state TV.

It seemed like yet another example of useful wartime fact-checking, except for one problem: There’s little to no evidence that the video claiming the explosion was a missile strike ever circulated. Instead, the debunking video itself appears to be part of a novel and disturbing campaign that spreads disinformation by disguising it as fact-checking.”
