One of the saddest news that has occurred this week is the assault by the Russian army in Ukraine that has claimed a few victims and is leaving us with videos of the most terrifying of the situation that is being experienced in the country. Nevertheless, not all those that are circulating on the net are real and some of those that have been published correspond to the video game Arma 3.
From the Bloomberg portal they have reported that some of the main Facebook Gaming videos that came to light yesterday were described as real images, also including posters of the type “breaking news“, but actually they were nothing more than mere montages made under the title of Bohemia Interactive.
At first they became so viral that they became viewed by more than 110,000 people and shared more than 25,000 times. They even appeared on some national television networks that took them for good, although Bloomberg contacted Meta as soon as possible to warn that they were videos with false content, so they were quickly removed for being accused of fraud.
Throughout yesterday afternoon more than 90 videos of Arma 3 were published that they mentioned the conflict that Ukraine is experiencing, which is why Meta has assured that it has established a special operations center to respond in real time to this situation in order to prevent it from happening again by all possible means.
Unfortunately, some of the fake videos were posted for more than six hours and five of the most popular Facebook Gaming videos featured footage of weapon 3 as if it were a real military assault on the Ukraine, with fighter planes and shelling on the coast. Unfortunately, some clips of these videos They are also being shared on other social networkssuch as Twitter and TikTok, by users who claim that they are real images at the same time that they have tried to deceive people by asking for donations for those affected.
