Recently, a series of fake photos claiming that Hurricane Milton destroyed Disney World have been flooding social media. These images have caused widespread panic and discussion, but in reality, they are all fabricated. Such misinformation not only confuses people but can also create unnecessary fear.

First, let's look at the sources of these photos. According to investigations, many of these fake photos were initially shared by Russian state media and right-wing influencers on the X platform. They exploit people's fear of natural disasters to spread false information for their own purposes. This behavior is not only unethical but also severely disrupts public order.

Second, let's examine the authenticity of these photos. After verification, these so-called 'Hurricane Milton' photos were actually taken from other places and times, and some were even created using image editing software. For example, a photo showing Disney Castle submerged in floodwaters was actually taken during another hurricane years ago. This carefully orchestrated spread of misinformation not only misleads the public but can also negatively impact tourism and the local economy.
