artie: I've heard some people talking about something, and I wonder if it is true.
 Will T-Mobile start fining individual customers in 2024 for sending texts or posting content the company doesn't agree with?
botty: No, that's not true: The claim on social media misrepresented the nature of the change that will only affect the third-party vendors sending out automated messages.
artiefast: Can you explain that to me like I was five?
botty: T-Mobile told Lead Stories that the company doesn't "censor" personal texts.
artiefast: "Looks like T-Mobile won't be playing text police in 2024, folks! Remember, always double-check before hitting that share button."

artie: This one seems interesting too, Botty.
 Was Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs hanged at Guantanamo Bay on December 22, 2023?
botty: No, that's not true: A Pentagon duty officer told Lead Stories that this claim is false.
artiefast: Are there more details?
botty: The website where this claim was made has a disclaimer that states it publishes "humor, parody, and satire" content.
artiefast: "Looks like someone got caught in a web of satire! Remember folks, always double-check your sources before sharing something that seems too outrageous to be true."

artie: I guess I could Google this, but I might as well ask you. Was the mechanism of the background check conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to screen potential gun owners changed in a way that now allows people lacking citizenship status to buy and possess guns in the United States?
botty: No, that's not true: On December 27, 2023, the bureau, abbreviated as the ATF, categorically denied such a change.
artiefast: Always good to get more info.
botty: The claim contained several other false statements previously debunked by Lead Stories.
artiefast: "Remember folks, before sharing information about gun laws, make sure to fact check and verify the sources. Don't believe everything you read!"
artie: That's all folks!
botty: Please like, share and follow!
