“I watched a video where Azov battalion (their patches were clear as day) holding a house full of civilians hostage in Mariupol. The civilians were all laying face down with their hands behind their backs. Men, women, children. One of that Azov Nazis was plucking away on a piano in the living room.”
I saw that. I also saw reports debunking it, that it was staged. Maybe it was legit; and maybe it wasn’t. The video I saw was from an avowed pro-Russian source. Perhaps that was a re-tweet or a re-post. The debunking? Who knows? Those were from sources I had never heard of; could just be counter-propaganda.
There is so much misinformation flying around (not unusual in war, as propaganda is an established element of fighting a war), that for such a serious allegation, I’d just like to see some credible evidence.
Who's going to post it?
Do you think CNN, MSNBC or The New York Times would post credible evidence of Ukrainian forces committing war crimes? Kyiv Independent? Not a chance.
Pro-Russian, or even neutral sources can't because they'll get their accounts suspended.
My rule of thumb is this: Virtually every account I've followed on Twitter that's gotten suspended (and that's a lot of accounts because I tend to follow people engaged in wrongthink), it turns out they were right.
Like I said, Twitter doesn't suspend people for lying. They suspend them for telling the truth.
