Pope Leo XIV's Social Media: Separating Fact from Fiction

The recent election of Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost, has led to a surge in social media accounts claiming to be his. Fact-checking is crucial. The Vatican has confirmed @drprevost on X (formerly Twitter) as the Pope's official account. However, numerous fake accounts exist on Instagram and Facebook. "Many people are searching for his profile, and at the same time, fake accounts have emerged," explains Factchequeado, a fact-checking organization. The video provides a crucial public service, urging users to verify information before following accounts. This highlights the importance of media literacy in the digital age, ensuring people can discern reliable information from misinformation.
