We’re fact checking misleading images and videos relating to the conflict in the Middle East. An image supposedly showing Dubai’s Burj Khalifa engulfed in flames is fake. fullfact.org/world/burj-kha…

These misleading videos are becoming a veritable online epidemic and no doubt making a tidy profit for their duplicitous creators. We can continue to play whack-a-mole but ultimately more concerted action will be needed from online platforms and regulators. #FactsMatter

.@TheBMA claims resident doctors’ pay is worth 21% less than in 2008/9. But this is based on some questionable assumptions. Our independently verified analysis, using a different inflation measure backed by @RoyalStatSoc, suggests the fall’s more like 6-7%. fullfact.org/health/bma-res…

Grok and Google Lens AI overviews have been claiming that fake imagery shows the Huntingdon train attack. Grok told users one AI-generated image, of an injured man lying in a carriage, “appears to be a genuine photo”. Our fact check 👇 fullfact.org/crime/grok-goo…

A clip that appears to show Conservative MP George Freeman announcing his defection to Reform UK isn’t real and was very likely made using artificial intelligence. The MP said the video is “entirely fake and false”. fullfact.org/politics/fake-…
