I don't think there's an exact public term for what this could be assuming that it is state sponsored.
It would be something like a "faux limited hang". Where the nature of the information is true but the information itself is false. The nature being that much of the news on Ukraine is propaganda.
So to minimize the impact when it is discovered to be propaganda, and to delay that realization, images like this which can be easily "debonked" are released.
Yes, i see idiots sharing fake news like this constantly here and its tiresome calling it all out. Not sure if its the same shills over and over, perhaps we need a system to fact check posts (only provably false) and put a badge of shame on repeat offenders, well meaning or otherwise. If someone is sharing misinformation he is serving our enemy, whether wittingly or not. This shit is why there are people that dont trust us. Hell when i see this shit on 'my side' i start questioning whether im on the right side.
If it's not this bs 'it's just a prank' nonsense of passing low hanging crap off as post worthy its the daily spamming of the frontpage by the same users of absolutely worthless msm websites and not even archiving them to prevent those sites leeching poal users personal data etc - yet when i point it out to the uploaders, i'm constantly called a ds plant trying to silence them - ridiculous.
It's something you could bring up to or . Flairs could be used to identify the posts without actually censoring them.
This is an excellent idea.
Coming from someone that's Never posted on this Sub! How bout a tag to label you a lurker with no worthy input... A useless, mindless drone! I've never even seen you comment on this sub... So why exactly are you here?
Yeah i dont want heavy handed censorship but having a note attached to someone who keeps spreading fake news would help people identify bullshit faster, might even teach a few crayon munchers how to think critically. Its insidious really, they tell the truth and use a lie as an example which allows the liars to dismiss the truth by pointing at the lie supporting it. I have noticed this shit for years, and this filth gets spread like a virus in a whorehouse before someone does the fact check and of course nobody wants to admit they were had so that reveal doesnt travel nearly as fast.
