Reader guide
A real photograph can still carry the wrong context
Before sharing, check the date, location and original publication.

The 60-second brief
- One photograph does not establish the full context.
- Check the place and time claimed in its caption separately.
- If uncertain, seek confirmation before sharing.
Read the image and caption separately
A caption is not automatically proved by the photograph beside it. A genuine photograph may be old or from another location.
Look for the earliest available version
Look for the original post, photo credit and previous publication. Cropping may also change what an image appears to show.
It is fine to pause
Repeated sharing does not make a claim true. If you cannot find the source, state the limitation rather than presenting a guess as confirmation.
