If you're sharing videos and photographs from Ukraine with accountability in mind, please make an effort to share them with links to the source you're using, it greatly assists organisations who are verifying conflict incidents.
Wherever possible we're seeking to find where videos were posted originally, so we can understand the context they were originally posted in, and it helps us eliminate videos that are just old videos being reposted for clicks.
It also allows us to examine associated metadata, especially where videos have been shared on Telegram, which retains file metadata, unlike the majority of social media platforms.
The number of people who are actually doing detailed investigations of these videos and photographs is very small, so losing hours in an investigation trying to find a source of a video is a significant lose of time and resources.
Also, if you geolocate a video please ensure you include co-ordinates, not just a screenshot of a map, it makes it easier for us to verify the geolocation and share it knowing it's accurate.
We're working to share confirmed geolocations and verified videos on this Twitter account, so the easier you make it for us the more we'll be able to share.
Adding the word "geolocation" or "geolocated" to your geolocation and geolocated tweets also is a great help when we're searching for them.
