Posts resurface old video of violent demonstrations to fan anti-immigrant sentiment
✦ AI Brief
South Korea's acceptance of more immigrants has fuelled anti-foreigner sentiment in the country. Footage circulating on social media purportedly showing a recent "riot" by immigrants in Paris is actually several years old. The Paris police have denied any recent protest in the French capital, stating that the footage was filmed in December 2022 during protests sparked by the fatal shooting of three Kurds. The video has been shared with false captions claiming recent events.
