Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

"NewsGuard’s findings confirm a February 2025 report by the U.S. nonprofit the American Sunlight Project (ASP), which warned that the Pravda network was likely designed to manipulate AI models rather than to generate human traffic."

@seanadavis.bsky.social and I summarized the Ukraine-related misinfo seen on social media recently, where at least one claim can be traced to the Russian disinformation network Pravda.

Jo Ellis has just posted this video on Facebook, confirming to be a "Black Hawk pilot with Virginia National Guard" and not - as many viral social media posts had claimed - linked to the Black Hawk helicopter involved in the crash in Washington DC.

This social media post with 4m views claims Denmark is upping tariffs on Ozempic by 500% for the US only.

Denmark hasn't announced such plans. However, a US-imposed tariff on Denmark could make Ozempic more expensive to US customers.

A video claims to show ECB president Christine Lagarde “changing her tune” on Bitcoin following Trump’s EU tariff threat.

The video is four years old.

Trying to make a case for Canada joining the US as its 51st state, Trump said the US pays over $100bn/year in subsidies to Canada.

However, the US official website shows that foreign assistance to Canada hasn’t exceeded $35.1m/fiscal year since 2001.

Trump’s trade tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China – plus his warning that the EU could be next – have spooked global markets, sparked trade war concerns... and given fact-checkers a busy start of the week.

Here are 3 false claims I found this morning🧵

Happy to see my fact-check on this got picked up in Community Notes

The crash happened between 1-2 am UTC, and metadata shows the CNN articles in the viral screenshots were published at 2:40 am and 3:20 am UTC.

NYT published roughly the same time, further disproving the idea that CNN had some corrupt head start.

One viral misinfo narrative following the Washington DC plane crash is that @cnn.com knew about the crash "hours" before it happened and published their article in advance.

Metadata refutes this, as does a CNN spokesperson speaking to @logicallyfacts.com.

as much as I admire the human-like qualities of Gmail's AI-driven reply feature... "Ugh." might be taking it a bit too far

Föredömligt agerande! Om ändå fler kunde lämna företräde åt sakkunniga experter 🙄

Troll och nyttiga idioter skapar en förvirringsparad kring Musks höjda högerarm. Tillsammans flyttar de gränserna för vad som är politiskt acceptabelt, menar Svensk filosofis Jesper Olsson.

For example, one of the most viral misinfo claims relating to the LA wildfires was a left-leaning one, which accused a billionaire couple of withholding a majority of the state’s water supply and therefore exacerbating the crisis.

Friendly reminder that misinformation isn’t limited to one side of the political spectrum — there’s been a notable uptick in left/liberal-leaning misinformation since the Trump assassination attempt in July.
