This video was devastating to work on, and a real team effort with @emmatscott @deniseduana @lschw @roblibetti @csstewart and many others. It’s not enough to say thank you to the families, volunteers, and Mariupolites who helped us shape this story, but thank you anyway.

That’s why by now we should know to be extremely careful reporting on viral trends. It’s good practice to do some investigating first: who was the initial poster, was there campaign planning on another network, did a handful of posts appear simultaneously, are comments real?

You don't get to invade a country because you're fearful of them potentially joining an international alliance at some unspecified time in the future. This is necessary context when we quote Putin about his NATO claims.

And these are bombed-out Russian tanks. You can’t imagine the size of a tank until you see it. It used to be a battlefield but I guess now it’s a kind of museum to the power of the Ukrainian army and the swiftness of Ukrainian graffiti artists.

Throughout the summer and fall, occupying forces have been demolishing entire apartment buildings. We’ve heard unconfirmed but eerily persistent claims that bodies from many of them haven’t been exhumed before demolition. Videos of scattered remains are widespread.

Trend manipulation on TikTok is not uncommon, but we know a lot less about it than trend manipulation on Twitter because of the way the platform is structured. This was an infamous example in Russia when reporters discovered paid pro-war influencers.

I don’t have answers to these questions in this case. But disinfo and media manipulation are not just fake websites or images. Sometimes it’s trend manipulation. And that trend manipulation, of course, can lead to organic posts. We should be hyper aware of that during crises.
