Hey everyone! @JulesDrmnn here with some thoughts about disinformation after this election week. The thing is, we didn't see the massive surge in hoaxes and bullsh*t fact-checkers are used to see when an election is coming up.

And as the Green parties are amongst the winners of yesterday, we could see more misinformation around climate activists. In Germany, Greta Thunberg was one of the main targets of political disinformation. https://t.co/y7SZeex3AZ

During a debate last Monday, the head of the LREM electoral list claimed that France has accepted “castaways” from every vessel rescuing refugees in the Mediterranean. However, her presentation of the matter is a little too generous, find Les @decodeurs.

This week Marine Le Pen claimed Donald Trump’s former advisor “had no role in the campaign” for the European elections. It's a bit more complicated than that, says @20minFakeOff

A picture claims that German election officials have been instructed to treat any votes for the AfD as invalid if the cross goes over the lines of the circle printed on the form. This claim is completely invented. A @correctiv_fakt check: https://t.co/CSXZtBFizK

An image claimed to be a CDU election poster is being shared on social media. It shows a Muslim family, together with a slogan supposedly in the words of the Chancellor, Angela Merkel. @correctiv_fakt reports that the poster is an egregious fake.

Watch out for any claim of "censored poll". According to a rumor circulating on social networks, a “censored poll” put French governing party La République en Marche (LREM) at 6% in the EU elections. It's a familiar hoax.
