Anders Eknert<p>I didn't expect my post about Swedish Television mistakenly labeling Vladimir Putin as "president USA" yesterday to blow up the way it did. What I *really* didn't expect was <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hachyderm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hachyderm</span></a>'s admins deleting my post just as it was approaching a thousand boosts. This because someone allegedly reported it as "misinformation", and that what I saw on TV "does not appear to have actually happened"... which ironically is about as Putinesque a statement can be.</p><p>So how would you fact check this? A few people commenting on the post had already done that, the way people normally do — by asking for the source. And they got it. I even boosted the link to SVT Play, where the broadcast can be streamed by anyone. It's still there <a href="https://www.svtplay.se/video/jAM5B9o/aktuellt/tor-13-mar-21-00?position=135" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">svtplay.se/video/jAM5B9o/aktue</span><span class="invisible">llt/tor-13-mar-21-00?position=135</span></a></p><p>The Hachyderm "fact checking" process doesn't ask for a source though. In fact, they didn't ask me for anything. Since there were no news headlines mentioning this blunder, it must not have happened. </p><p>I appreciate the lecture for me to "fact check my posts before posting", but the assumption that I'd want to post anything on this instance again could certainly need some fact checking.</p><p>To the rest of you, enjoy this last screenshot of Putin definitely not getting labeled as "president USA" on SVT2 News on Swedish Television. And for those of you who can't get enough of things that never happened, I'll post a video in a comment below too.</p>

European Commission<p>Europeans benefit from some of the strongest consumer protections in the world!</p><p>Whether that’s when: </p><p>🔹 Shopping – Right to safe, high-quality products that can be repaired, replaced, or returned if needed. <br>🔹 Travelling – Compensation for delays or cancellations. <br>🔹 Banking – Secure payments and fair contracts. <br>🔹 Surfing – Protection of personal data and safeguards against scams. </p><p>For over 50 years, the EU has been working hard to keep consumers safe – both in stores and online.</p>
