   Note to self: If Serbia ever gets invaded, need to make good memes to ensure international help.

     @architect That's slightly true...but I've been impressed at the internet's fact-checking ability. Reddit's top comments in /r/Ukraine typically show sources, or demands for sources.

     And the internet allows for legit sources; Twitter can verify the Minister for Tech, videos verifiably show Ukraine, and can be compared to online maps.

     Even the famous 'ghost of Kyiv' legend typically comes with the subtitle "I want to believe", because everyone knows it's just a fun rumour.

     @malin the easy start is to just strip the audio out of recent misinformation posts on twitter so it's easier to repurpose them. No one's going to bother fact-checking until after they've spread the posts
