I'm posting this in case people might find it useful.

We should try to verify what we post.

Twitter thread on false images being circulated relating to the current Russian invasion. Includes some fact checkers (e.g Reuters Fact Check) and individuals who've done reverse image searches

Also, a video about how to do a reverse image search for those among us who don't know...

(It is perfectly safe to open a Facebook page or a twitter link even if you aren't signed up to either)
