FO🚨 FACT CHECK: A viral image claiming to show the late Jeffrey Epstein recently spotted in Tel Aviv, Israel, is circulating widely online.
The unverified photos feature a man strongly resembling the disgraced financier. However, official records and the Justice Department confirmed Epstein died in a New York City federal detention center in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal charges.
Since his death, numerous conspiracy theories and fabricated images have routinely surfaced across social media platforms. Digital forensics experts frequently warn about the increasing volume of manipulated media, AI-generated content, and lookalike photos explicitly designed to drive viral engagement.
Authorities have not lent any credibility to these recent claims. Digital literacy advocates are urging users to rely on established news agencies rather than unverified social media accounts for accurate information.
How do you usually verify if a viral image you see online is real or fake? 💭
