This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.

But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

In investigative journalism, reporters dig into evidence & present the conclusion *it has led to*.

In extremely online factions, the *belief is held*, & influencers backfill it w/justifications.

It’s distorted sensemaking, but the influencer-algorithm-crowd trinity shapes public opinion today.

Shirley honed his craft making misleading videos about immigrants in 2024, taking comments out of context, using deceptive cuts, and overlaying transcriptions/translations that often distorted what his subjects had actually said. Seems like his tactics have continued to evolve.
