“Hot today…as it was in 1911. And 1930. And so on,” says a July 18, 2022 tweet with two screenshots of old newspapers. “Don’t forget, the Romans were growing grapes in northern Britain in the 2nd century too. Just saying.”
Posts on Facebook and Twitter have shared a claim that newspapers in Germany must guarantee that 75 percent of their articles are factual, and that any newspaper unable to do so must instead refer to itself as a magazine. However, the claim is false. The German government, the German Press Council and media scholars told AFP that there is no such policy or regulation in the country.
“Firefighters have now joined the farmers in Holland. This is how it is done!” says a July 10, 2022 tweet.
The infographic was shared here on Facebook on April 9, 2022, with the caption “facts that we should know”.
