The document discusses the InVID verification plugin, which is a tool developed through an EU-funded project to help journalists verify social media video content. The plugin allows users to extract keyframes from videos, run reverse image searches on those frames to discover the original source and context of the video. Two examples are given where the plugin helped debunk misinformation - identifying a video used in a political campaign was not actually shot in France, and discovering a photo was not actually taken in Gaza as claimed. The document encourages journalists to use the InVID verification plugin to help verify social media videos.
