00:00No, this heavily guarded German Christmas market isn't real.
00:07It might still be too early for some, but with Halloween over, Christmas is well and truly on the way.
00:14This also means, however, that a wave of misinformation about the festive season is also on its way.
00:19A picture going around online and shared on social media in multiple European languages allegedly shows a small German Christmas market surrounded by police, vehicles and fences.
00:30The captions shared with the photo lament that Christmas markets in Europe now have to be heavily protected from terrorist attacks, with some baselessly blaming immigration or diversity.
00:40However, the image has clearly been AI generated.
00:44Zooming into people's faces and text like the vehicle's registration plates shows that they are blurred and distorted.
00:50Additionally, in the bottom right-hand corner of the picture, we can just about see the logo of Gemini, Google's AI assistant, proving that it was artificially created.
01:00Those sharing the photo appear to want to whip up fear off the back of real terrorist attacks that have targeted German Christmas markets in the past,
01:07such as the attack in Berlin in 2016 and the attack in Magdeburg last year.
01:12The incidents have also sparked other misleading narratives related to the markets, most notably false claims that Germany is cancelling all its Christmas markets due to fears over immigration and terrorism.
01:23We can easily check this by visiting the tourism office websites belonging to the cities where Germany hosts some of its most iconic markets.
01:31The city of Cologne, for example, whose Christmas markets welcome around 4 million people a year, is still clearly preparing to celebrate the festivities from mid-November.
01:40The same is true of Frankfurt, which clearly indicates the date its markets will be open.
01:45While there have been reports of some smaller markets being shut down for various reasons,
01:49the vast majority will still go ahead, complete with comprehensive, reasonable security measures.
