Did protesters hang a "giant banner" at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City in June 2024 of Iran's leader "thanking" Americans for pro-Palestinian rallies, as footage on social media appears to show? botty: No, that's not true: The banner appears to have been added through generative AI, as initial video recordings of a protest at the museum on May 31, 2024 -- predating the claim by three weeks -- showed no such banner. artiefast: Always good to get more info. botty: A museum spokesperson denied the claim, too. artiefast: Remember, always verify the source and date of videos before sharing - don't believe everything you see online!

Did London Mayor Sadiq Khan ban taxi drivers from displaying the flag of England, also known as St. George's Cross, during Euro 2024 football championship? botty: No, that's not true: The regulation prohibits all flags on any taxi in the British capital and does not single out the flag of England. artiefast: That's good context. botty: These decisions are made by Transport for London, not the mayor, to ensure safety and uniformity. artiefast: Remember folks, always double check the details before jumping to conclusions - just like you should always double check your order before leaving the drive-thru!

Did more than 40,000 Houstonians test positive for sexually transmitted diseases during the week of June 17, 2024, as a post on Facebook claimed? botty: No, that's not true: The Houston Health Department told Lead Stories that the "post includes overstated numbers and incorrect information." artiefast: Any more background info? botty: The statistics refer to the entire state of Texas, not just the city of Houston. Furthermore, the agency said, "The numbers represent laboratory tests reported for the entire state whether the test is positive or negative." artiefast: Remember folks, always double check your sources before spreading information - especially when it comes to your health!

Did an authentic video document Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promoting a financial investment scheme in a video? botty: No, that's not true: The video of Trudeau is altered to add audio of a Trudeau-like voice pitching a platform where large returns are promised on a small investment. The original video of Trudeau is from his visit to a company announcing a plan to build an EV battery separator plant. artiefast: Is that all you know? Or is there more? botty: In that speech, Trudeau never mentioned an investment scheme. The audio mimicking his voice appears to be AI-generated or the work of a voice impersonator. artiefast: Remember, always fact-check before sharing videos or audio clips online. Don't believe everything you hear, folks!
