Original Note:
Another Birdwatch Note is correct in saying that as of 9/2021, It was known that Smollett staged the attack. It is misleading though, as it neglects to point out that the Tweet was made 8 months prior to the findings. Context- at the time, the claim was believed to be true. https://time.com/5534599/jussie-smollett-staged-hate-attack/?amp=true https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jussie_Smollett_hate_crime_hoax
