A sharepic with a fake quote is currently out there, it shows the Green politician Anton Hofreiter.
In this picture, the logo of the morning magazine is shown at the bottom left next to the politician, and the ARD logo is visible at the top right. On the right a sentence that is supposed to represent a quote. It reads that foster children should be placed in Muslim families so that they are also familiar with other values.
We found this sharepic in two different versions. Once in a dangerous and modified version, in this dangerous version the origin of the sharepic has simply been cut off and the fake appears much more difficult.
You can also tell from the poor resolution that this cannot be an original version of the image. A version with not only a higher resolution, but also a larger image section can also be found in this sharepic. The old rule of thumb also applies here: the higher the resolution, the larger the image section, the more original and original the image.
In this respect, with this variant, which contains a very important addition, we are dealing with the more original form of the Sharepic. And here you can read something very important: In Satira by Uwe Ostertag .
From this point onwards you have to know: Anton Hofreiter never said this sentence! The author of the picture invented this statement and put it in the mouth of the person depicted. This is not satire, but a form of slander.
Uwe Easter Day!
Here, too, we repeat: Uwe Ostertag is, according to his own statements, a (full-time) troll who knows how to take up current topics and knit “quotes” from them that could definitely pass as “real”. And this is exactly where the crux of the matter lies - because the line between incitement and satire is thin and Ostertag has already had to answer in court .
His memes keep floating around the internet, and people argue about them with considerable vehemence. On the one hand, you will find well-known personalities from politics and the like who are being given a false quote, and on the other hand, you will usually find (unless it is intentionally removed) the imprint “In Satira Veritas by Uwe Ostertag”. = “The truth lies in satire,” is Uwe Ostertag’s motto. The truth has now been left behind, the inscription on his more recent products simply reads “In Satira”.
