let me demonstrate my point wrt doctoring social media using my twitter
here’s my original tweet here
if i right click and click “inspect element” on chrome and find the line that says my actual tweet like so
and select that line, right click, and click “edit as html”
I can type in whatever i want like this
and like that i can make a screenshot that says that i like to eat children and use it to call myself out
and thats why you should’t believe screenshots of tweets at face value w/o a link to the original tweet
this is terrifying
this is terrifying because no matter how many notes this post gets, people on tumblr still don’t think about sources
