IOM Conspiracy Theory fake post

[Langweilig]

The people who believe this sort of nonsense are...  I want to say stupid but that feels harsh. Would naïve be better?  Gullible?

Anyone with access to the internet could easily access Google or another online maps service and visit that same location and clearly see that the picture isn't from there.  Yet there are still people commenting on it thinking it is real!  I really do despair of people at time. 

Frustratingly, these same people will tell you to "do your own research" despite never actually doing any themselves!
