The report details an incident where a false quote attributed to Kamala Harris was circulated on social media, specifically on Facebook. The quote claimed that Harris stated, 'Iran is a country, but we do not live there, so it is not our country.' This misquotation reflects a broader issue of misinformation that not only affects local figures but is also prevalent in global narratives. The Facebook user who shared this quote claimed to have sourced it from a media outlet called 'Portal Platina Line', suggesting a connection between social media and dubious news sources.

Further investigation by 15min revealed that the Facebook page sharing the quote identified itself as a 'gaming video creator' but also labeled itself as an 'internet news site' collecting global news. This blurring of lines between genuine media outlets and misinformation sources raises concerns about the quality of information consumed by the public. The article stresses the need for discernment among social media users, as the credibility of sources can greatly influence public perception and discourse.

This incident serves as a reminder of the challenges posed by the digital age in distinguishing fact from fiction and indicates that the phenomenon of spreading misleading quotes is neither isolated to Lithuania nor to specific political situations, but is a growing issue globally. It calls for increased media literacy and critical evaluation of sources to combat the spread of false information.
