Just assume that everything associated with the US government’s position is a lie. Make complete mistrust a habit.

I was really having a hard time finding the AI cues here. The only thing I found was that this flag has too many stars. For the others, I didn‘t find any.

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.

But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

Thank you for this. I've been just avoiding sharing any pictures or video.

Think I'll stick with that.

I have been following France 24's fake or real over the last couple years. I'm guessing around 50 percent of all content is bot or military. So definitely source everything. And then remember that reliable sources get conned. Follow it out. And I think it is a good idea to follow this guy.

This widely shared post, which claims to show Venezuelans celebrating the fall of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, is false.

The video was actually filmed in Miami, Florida, and not in Venezuela.

More AI-generated images of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro being detained by US military and drug enforcement agents have been shared online.

They are all fake and created by an Instagram user who makes and posts generative AI content.

This video, viewed millions of times, falsely claims to show the US military operation in Venezuela this morning.

In fact, the video is old, and was posted to TikTok back in November 2025.

This is an AI-manipulated version of a real video of the US military operation in Venezuela.

While the real clip does appear to be genuine, this specific version has been manipulated using Grok to add dramatic explosions and strikes.

Every clip in this 2:38-minute video montage shows Iranian missile strikes on Israel in 2024 and 2025, none of clips are linked to US strikes on Venezuela this morning.
