Facebook上不久前有段视频(如上)正在传播,声称它显示了“危机参与者”。该视频显示,一名新闻记者站在后面一大堆尸袋面前播出时,有人在移动,有人还掀起了尸袋。有人说:“这是在德国的危机演员忘记了他正在被拍摄并正在电视上播放。”
“危机演员”(crisis actors)指受过培训的参与者或志愿者,他们参加了培训应急服务的演习。
然而,也有人也经常用它在网上传播虚假信息,用它来描述某人因生病或死亡而获得报酬,也许在新闻摄像机前,更推进议程。当局称也曾检查过类似的虚假索赔—-有人以各种方式报称自己得了COVID-19冠状病毒而申请索赔。
这个视频出笼后,据全部真相网(fullfact) 报道称,这段视频并不是展示危机演员。这实际上是一段奥地利电视台关于维也纳气候变化抗议者的报道。如果你在谷歌上搜索屏幕底部的单词,你可以完整地看到“WIEN:DEMO GEGEN”,那么来自新闻频道自己网站的剪辑就是第一个结果。
全名是“维也纳:反对气候政策的演示”,德语是“维也纳:反对气候政策的演示”。根据翻译的字幕,新闻记者说,抗议者躺下是为了代表奥地利人民,他们说这些人将因气候变化而死亡。
来自波兰、法国和西班牙的其他事实核查人员也检查了同样的视频。
A video on Facebook is being circulated with claims that it shows “crisis actors”. The footage shows a news reporter in front of people appearing to be in body bags, before one of those people moves and uncovers themself, and then a woman runs over. One post has the caption: “Crisis actors you had one job!” Another says: “Crisis actor in Germany forgets he’s filming on TV.”
The term ‘crisis actor’ can refer to trained actors or volunteers who participate in exercises to train emergency services. However, it is also often used by people spreading false information online to describe someone who is paid to feign illness or death, perhaps in front of news cameras, to further an agenda. Recently it’s often been claimed that people are being paid to pretend they have Covid-19. We have checked false claims along these lines before.
However, this video doesn’t show crisis actors. It is actually a clip from an Austrian TV report about climate change protesters in Vienna. If you do a Google search for the words across the bottom of the screen that you can see in full—“WIEN: DEMO GEGEN”—the clip from the news channel’s own website is the first result.
The full title is “Wien: Demo gegen Klimapolitik”, which is German for “Vienna: Demo against climate policy”. According to translated subtitles, the news reporter says that the protesters were lying down to represent people in Austria who they say would die as a result of climate change.
Other fact checkers from Poland, France and Spain have also checked the same video.
