I particularly dislike how Twitter is filled with anti-intellectual rumors polluting the information stream. Whether from the left or the right, it's all about proving others are corrupt, ultimately resulting in a fool spreading rumors and a group of fools passing them on.
For example, the recent "Australian Yang Lanlan" incident, let's have AI verify it casually.
Conclusion: The online claims of "70 million/80 million Australian dollars bail," "1.24 trillion RMB deposit," and "spending hundreds of thousands to book luxury stores" have no credible sources; the assertion that the huge bail "arrived instantly" does not align with the bail system in NSW (New South Wales).
The only credible information is: On July 26, a car accident occurred in Rose Bay, Sydney, the victim driver was seriously injured, and Yang was charged with multiple offenses and granted "conditional bail," with a court appearance scheduled for August 15. (9News, http://News.com.au)
Facts confirmed by authoritative media:
Accident and charges: In the early hours of July 26, in Rose Bay, Sydney's eastern suburbs, a Tiffany blue Rolls Royce collided head-on with a Mercedes van. Police stated that Yang tested positive for alcohol at the roadside and subsequently refused to undergo a breath alcohol analysis at the police station, facing charges of "causing bodily harm by improper behavior," "being affected while in control of a vehicle," and "refusing to accept alcohol analysis." (9News)
Victim's injuries: The victim driver (George Plassaras, the personal driver of Kyle Sandilands) suffered severe injuries, including fractures of the spine, ribs, hip, and femur, as well as internal injuries. (http://News.com.au)
Bail status and court date: Yang has been granted conditional bail and is scheduled to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on August 15. Multiple media outlets reported that her bail conditions include: surrendering her passport, a nighttime curfew at her residence, and a prohibition on driving. No official or mainstream media has disclosed any cash amount. (9News, Greek City Times, NEOS KOSMOS)
Clearly misrepresented or inconsistent with common sense or systems:
"Bail of 70 million/80 million Australian dollars, arrived instantly" — false.
NSW's bail system primarily relies on non-monetary conditions (such as curfews, reporting, surrendering passports, etc.), and a monetary guarantee/bond is only added when there are concerns about the defendant "not appearing in court," which must be judged necessary by a magistrate/judge and recorded in the bail decision. Current reports only mention "conditional bail," with no specified amount. (NSW Legislation, District Court of New South Wales, 9News)
In comparison, publicly available information from lawyers and courts also indicates that in common cases in Australia, if a monetary guarantee is set, the amount is usually in the thousands to tens of thousands of Australian dollars, with the focus still on behavioral conditions; guarantees in the "tens of millions" range are extremely rare in local judicial practice. (Criminal Defence Lawyers Australia, Armstrong Legal)
"There is a deposit of 1.24 trillion RMB" — no credible source, nor could it appear in police or court information. Media reports also did not mention the source of her assets, let alone details like "deposit balance." (9News, http://News.com.au)
Currently unverifiable claims or those only seen in gossip/self-media:
"Two custom Rolls Royces": Some gossip media claim she has a white Rolls Royce at her residence, but this has not been confirmed by police reports or independent verification from mainstream media and can only be categorized as rumor. (Facebook)
"University student/unemployed, booking luxury stores, background of a certain state-owned enterprise," etc.: Public reports did not mention her occupation/academic status or family background, nor were there details about "booking stores for shopping"; the circulated long posts and articles in social media are personal disclosures and lack credibility. (9News)
Timeline (confirmed):
July 26: The accident occurred, Yang was taken to Waverley Police Station and charged, and was granted conditional bail that evening. (9News)
From July 30: The victim driver disclosed his injuries and surgical arrangements to the media multiple times. (http://News.com.au)
August 15: Scheduled court appearance date. (9News)
How to judge the authenticity of subsequent information?
Check the source: Rely on 9News, http://news.com.au, The Australian/ABC, court or police documents; be cautious with self-media/short videos that lack legal documents or official citations. (9News, http://News.com.au)
Check the wording: "Conditional bail" ≠ "has paid a huge bail amount." If there were indeed a large cash guarantee, the amount and guarantee method would typically appear in court reports or court records. (NSW Legislation)
