“A viral video depicting a monk being kicked and beaten by a police officer was posted on social media recently. It was reacted to with mixed comments and shared by many Facebook users who are speaking Khmer which they thought was the situation that happened in Cambodia. However, after running a Google Reverse Image search, it proves that the post above was misleading.”

“Cellphone data used to arrest the Idaho quadruple-murder suspect proves that criticism of the “2000 Mules” movie’s use of cell data is unfounded.”

PolitiFact rated this: False
