How the internet misled you in 2015

It was another busy year for journalists debunking fake or misleading images on social media. In 2015, many pictures and videos went viral, some for all the wrong reasons. There were deliberate fakes created to deceive the public and then there were misleading images shared, often during breaking news situations, that were entirely unrelated to the story. Were you caught out by any of these? The haunting picture shared during the Nepal earthquake Image copyright NA Son Nguyen This was one of the most shared photos in the wake of the Nepal earthquake in April. It's not a fake, but misleading nonetheless. Labelled as showing a "two-year-old sister protected by four-year-old brother in Nepal", it was shared across Facebook and Twitter and prompted calls for donations. The photograph was actually taken in a remote village in Vietnam back in 2007. "This is perhaps my most shared photo," says the photographer Na Son Nguyen, "but unfortunately in the wrong context."
