As shady as this is gonna sound Facebook has back door verification processes for Instagram pages that I will attempt to go through to help the pages with their constant banning. While I have designated the IGs (which are considered business accounts) as media outlets, they have no protection against content being taken down since anyone can do it. There are ways to register and verify Instagram pages with Facebook so they file them as actual news outlets, which offer a lot more protection with iffy content being removed. This is why insta pages for the BBC, AP, and a few other less mainstream news pages are allowed to essentially post freely.
Also give me podcast episode topic ideas because I hope to have this shit popping off soon
The only news sources running the claim that Pakistan warplanes and drones attacked Panjshir in support of the Taliban are Indian media outlets. So far the only “evidence” to back up the claims are Arma 3 footage or footage identified to be of aircraft in the US or UK. Also haven’t seen any claims of Pakistani aircraft from official NRF sources or officials either and most tweets about it are from Pro-NRF pages. Were Pakistan aircraft involved? Maybe, who knows. But right now there is literally nothing to back up the claims.
India and Pakistan have been locked in a media war about Panjshir since the NRF declared it was created. Both sides throwing out widely exaggerated reports of deaths on each side, as well as heavily posting recycled footage from other, unrelated conflicts.
PSYOP lesson 101: A lot of people think Arma 3 and DCS world footage is real. All you have to do is drop the resolution a little for those who may be unsure.
