Cum s-a viralizat în social media fake-news-ul despre ”consiliera Hello Kitty” a lui Nicușor Dan

A recent fake news story circulated on Romanian social media, claiming that a young prosecutor, Ioana-Mădălina Sadovec, was hired by Nicușor Dan to combat misinformation. This misinformation stemmed from a mix-up with another young woman, Martina Orlea, who is indeed part of Dan's team. The viral spread of the false narrative involved real images but misattributed identities, leading to sexist comments and significant online engagement. Martina Orlea highlighted the mechanisms behind the viral spread, including coordinated posts and the use of multiple platforms. The National Audiovisual Council's vice president noted that this incident reflects a broader issue of misinformation targeting public figures.
