Can you provide an example?


Sure...after the bridge collapse in Baltimore, I see some rando on xitter posting the video of the Crimea bridge that was hit by missiles and saying...look closely you can see the bridge was blown up and not hit by that ship. Easily debunked. Clearly disinformation. What was going through their mind when they decided to create a completely fake story?

Add to this some who were claiming this ship was owned by North Korea or Yemen.
Or that the ship was piloted by a Ukrainian who was sure to have crashed it on purpose.

On twitter I came across a guy's post promoting a conspiracy theory claiming dynamite charges were used to help bring down the bridge. The "flames" in the video were electrical wires being snapped (and arching occurred). He was quickly and overwhelmingly corrected, on twitter. More information worked and worked well.
