🇮🇳 I'm thrilled to be in New Delhi this week for the @inmaorg.bsky.social South Asia News Media Festival! If you're attending the conference, please come say hi after my panel or at the @afp.com booth. I'd love to chat about all things fact-checking, disinformation and media literacy. 💡

The person who filmed this protest told us it shows Burmese workers at a factory in Thailand's Phetchabun province demonstrating over high work permit and visa renewal fees, not demanding higher wages factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

These photos are from protests in 2021 and 2024 -- not recent demonstrations by Burmese migrant workers to demand a pay increase factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....
