Yes people frequently fake screenshots on social media. I'd want either a screenshot from a credible person, reporting from a journalist, trusted blogger, company statement etc.

- tantalor 3mo agoI'm not a journalist, but I don't think a reporter would go much further than "one user said...". There is no need for fact checking an individual source, other than to verify the reporting is accurately representing what they said.
