A Facebook social media page published today (February 2) a photo with the caption "German boyfriend beats Kosovar woman in Pristina / Read the full story in the comments", attaching a link to click on what it says is "the full story".
After clicking on the link provided in the comment, an old article published on July 19, 2023 opens. (here)
Link to the article published by the "Tringa Globale" website:
Within the article it is clarified that this text was taken from the information portal Zëri.info, while after searching hibrid.info also found the original Zëri.info article published on July 19, 2023. (see here)
Also, even in the last 24-hour report from the Kosovo Police (February 2), there is no report of such an event. (see photo below)
Analyze:
Presenting an old article as current, a Facebook page has alleged violence against a woman in Pristina.
Hibrid.info, after verifying the facts, has found the original article about this event and has confirmed that this case occurred in July of last year. Not even in the latest 24-hour police report is such an event found.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info considers this article to be "clickbait".
Reasoning:
“Clickbait” is considered to be informational content whose title is general and does not disclose the location of the event, context and relevance. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the audience with sensational headlines with misleading consequences, which do not accurately clarify the content of the article. “Clickbait” headlines are mainly made to attract readability in the case of media publications and/or to earn from clicks in the case of commercial publications.
