Sounds fake af

2018-06-02 14:31:19 UTC  

yea very fake

2018-06-02 14:31:32 UTC  

they probably made it themselves just for a few retweets

2018-06-02 14:44:01 UTC  

Would that even work? Looks like the sticker would just come off more easily

2018-06-02 15:06:48 UTC  

would only work if the blade was on the edge

2018-06-02 15:07:01 UTC  

where you would poke it with your fingernail

2018-06-02 16:39:36 UTC  

Yeah, I can see that.

2018-06-02 20:33:22 UTC  

What the actual fuck is that vice thing? Holy shit!

2018-06-02 20:35:18 UTC  

I'm not finding evidence of the original tweet.

2018-06-02 20:38:32 UTC  

I think its more of an Inb4 meme

2018-06-02 20:38:54 UTC  

Yeah. It's being sold on here without context

2018-06-02 20:41:12 UTC  

It's really not helping fight against fake news by propagating fake news.

2018-06-02 21:00:16 UTC  

Well

2018-06-02 21:00:28 UTC  

The funny part is I 100% believed it

2018-06-02 21:02:06 UTC  

I expect complete stupidity from VICE

2018-06-02 21:04:09 UTC  

@RyeNorth i don't think that was even a tweet but a facebook message.

2018-06-02 22:20:45 UTC  

I see. Still, all the things that reference it use that same picture, nothing else.

2018-06-02 22:21:04 UTC  

Which implies that all the people reporting on this are reporting based on a single screencap it seems.

2018-06-02 22:53:52 UTC  

o_o

2018-06-02 22:57:34 UTC  

archive.is still works on vice.com

2018-06-02 22:57:56 UTC  

so either it's a fake screencap, they failed to block it, or they changed their minds.

2018-06-02 22:58:24 UTC  

i don't have fbook so i can't check

2018-06-02 23:03:13 UTC  

I tried to check

2018-06-02 23:03:15 UTC  

I found nothing.

2018-06-02 23:03:35 UTC  

Everyone I saw while checking people reporting on it

2018-06-02 23:04:05 UTC  

I got z-list websites like The Ralph Retort, going on typo-laden articles about it.

2018-06-02 23:04:12 UTC  

They're all using the exact same screenshot.

2018-06-02 23:04:21 UTC  

And no links.

2018-06-02 23:04:26 UTC  

Reporting on it as if it's fact.

2018-06-02 23:10:33 UTC  

I don't think you can even block it

2018-06-02 23:10:49 UTC  

don't archive services desguise the bots as regular users?

2018-06-02 23:24:57 UTC  

i don't know exactly how archive.is does it, but it's not hard to conceive of unblockable methods.

2018-06-02 23:25:57 UTC  

I do know that some websites have on occasion succeeded in blocking archive.is though. NYT occasionally succeeds, at least for a while.

2018-06-02 23:34:35 UTC  

i found stuff from early 2017 on that vice/archive thing... so even if it is a real screenshot, it most certainly is not actually in effect

2018-06-02 23:37:15 UTC  

i miss jontron

2018-06-02 23:53:41 UTC  

There is always a way to circumnavigate those blocks. I use archive.is a lot. When I find one, I run it though https://via.hypothes.is . Archive.is does this automatically for some websites like Vice.

2018-06-02 23:58:41 UTC  

You can also get past these blocks sometimes by using links from different sources. For example they may have archive blocked from archiving a page directly, but if you do it from a twitter link or Facebook link it sometimes bypasses them. Just copy the link directly from their tweets. Sometimes it’s the opposite. For a bit CNN money wouldn’t let me archive it from the twitter link, but if I used google to get to the story I could .

2018-06-02 23:59:46 UTC  

I think vice propably wants to block it, but in my oppinion this is a joke if no one can provide a source. Stop perpetuating it
