And I've repeatedly seen serious outlets publish articles that link to Telegram channels they misrepresent, or false or misleading information on twitter that makes its way onto TV (the Wagner mutiny was a particularly egregious case).

Agree with this thread. There is variance in the credibility of Telegram channels. Without mentioning the original source, you make it difficult to determine the credibility of the footage. Some accounts also misrepresent the context provided by the original source.

When I see a tweet that recounts something from a Russian Telegram channel but doesn't specify which channel, I just immediately dismiss it. These sometimes come from small anonymous channels that I've never heard of, and thus, can't determine their credibility.

I've also noticed that many people, including professors, retired military officers/officials, and journalists, struggle to identify credible "OSINT" accounts. One of the growing issues with misinformation is people with credibility retweeting/legitimizing misinformation accounts

@DerZeitgeist @TomAWatling: There are some very good accounts that don't share links, but I think it is generally the best policy.

@TomAWatling: It comes down to track record, but that takes time. There are a number of anonymous accounts that I only started following in late 2022, who I think are among the best and most knowledgeable foreign analysts.

RT @ELINTNews: There’s currently no evidence Hezbollah has joined the war or that the sirens in northern Israel are from an attack by them. Take note that there are thousands of Palestinian militants from Hamas, PIJ, PFLP-GC etc. that live and operate in Lebanon and Syria.

RT @IsraelRadar_com: To sum up: Yes, Hezbollah is provoking Israel & launching limited strikes to keep IDF busy. No, Hezbollah did not just launch an all-out assault or open a full-scale war. The big fight is still Gaza. Maybe it will change later, but no Lebanon war yet.

RT @michaelh992: Just note that when drone infiltrations happen sirens are much more widespread, because trajectories are more difficult to predict - so I'd wait for more details to say "Hezbollah entered the war" while pointing to that map.
