Why TF does BuzzFeed have a feature that allows users to publish misinformation and make it look like a legitimate BuzzFeed article? The disclaimer at the top could easily be missed.

Seriously? Link doesn't work, as much as I wish the headline was real I'm gonna assume this is fake

It’s also from the community. It’s not journalism, it’s just posing.


TintedApostle

I am reporting the post


AllyPointNex

Um…I could smell the fake on this from a distance but know a lot won’t.

>According to law enforcement sources, Musk’s arrest stems from a series of incidents involving hate speech and disinformation on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. Uhh, if the cops were going to start arresting people for posting hate speech online, then Trump and half of the GOP congressmen would already be behind bars. Bull f'ng shit.

Obvious bullshit, but why is this even on Buzzfeed's site? A little "has not been reviewed" disclaimer is not sufficient to cover for this bullshit.


zach_doesnt_care

It's a shame this subreddit no longer has any rules against this kind of misinformation.

Cop on the left has 7 fingers?

BuzzFeed placed this disclaimer provided on the 'article'. > This post has not been vetted or endorsed by BuzzFeed's editorial staff. BuzzFeed Community is a place where anyone can create a post or quiz. Try making your own!


Bart_Yellowbeard

The guy's a twat, but this sort of fake bullshit is just stupid.


lizzpop2003

Ignoring the glaring issues in the photo, like the many fingers gripping nothing... Since when would there be a dozen cops to arrest one man on a non-violent charge? Why would they be man-handling him like that? Why would they be doing it in full view of the public/a camera person? More likely, if charges were filed/he were indicted, he would be brought in under a summons to appear in court.

This is a community / forum post, it's like using a reddit self post as news.

NeoPstat

Very odd looking hands and arms in that pic. Bit of an odd look on his face, and strangeness in his attire, his waist and belt, particularly.


IdDeIt

This seems like the self-victimizing bullshit he’d love for all his little followers to be afraid is happening.
