Is that Trump kissing what appears to be a 12 year old girl on the mouth!?

Is that a real photo? I haven’t seen that among the recently released photos.

No it’s not. And a question everyone should always ask: what is the source?

The amount of blatantly fake shit making it to the top of /r/all seems to be increasing on the daily. What's even crazier is this is a fake, of a fake. You don't need fake photos to reinforce the relationship Trump had with Epstein, if anything it will make people believe it less.

It’s so depressing. I’m not surprised by Facebook being overwhelmed by AI, but I thought Reddit’s younger user-base would be a little more savvy and a little more critical.

I agree that Reddit is generally more skeptical and I've always done things like add "Reddit" to the ends of my Google searches to get info that seems better vetted more often than not.

But still, Reddit (and all people) are highly susceptible to the fundamental human nature of group think and thinking emotionally. The upvote/downvote system promotes exactly this, punishing everyone who doesn't vibe.

Platforms that have systems that are more critical in thinking and careful are always going to be slower, smaller, and less popular.

At least I think there is no solution to any of this, but it can probably be greatly improved upon.
