He went viral when Pope was in Francis Hospital

On Monday, the news came that Pope Francis, who led the Roman Catholic church for 12 years, died after being sick.

It means that he was a pope in the 21st century, and during his pope faced a series of false currents of online misinformation. In 2023, his figure, created by artificial intelligence, became a long white coat viral, and many fell into space; In response, Francisco urged the newspapers to report the facts and warned the dangers of fake news.

However, from the moment when Francis was admitted to the Francis Hospital on February 14, online users began to share false accusations that he was already dead, and said that there was a cover when he was contesting the authenticity of an official audio message shared on March 6, in which Francis thanked his supporters.

“This is enough! They deny that Pope Francis is dead!” The Italian Dictocar Ottavortroma 2.0, which was released on March 14, had 200,000 views.

Users of X, Facebook and other social networking sites have also sent these allegations, with Cyper Research Institute to estimate that 31% of the X profiles that discussed the Pope’s health in the early days of March are actually false.

The photo of Francisco, who was sitting in the church of the Rome Hospital where he was treated, was published in Mit -Marc, which was considered false by online conspiracy theorists.

In a video released on March 16, with nearly 300,000 views, another Italian dictocar, Erbombolino 1.1.

Another trend that emerged during the Francis Hospital shared the wrong pictures created by AI, which showed his hospital bed.

The Apostolic Constitution of 1996, announced by Pope John Paul II, prohibits the photo of a pope or after his death – except for specific recognition.

The Pope’s death certificate has now been issued by the Vatican, saying that he died in his apartment on Monday 21 April.

St. Peter’s Basilica is subjected to the public until Friday, so people can pay their respects.
