Original Note:
The "photo" of Assange on the right is not authentic. The image was AI-generated on Midjouney by an online user called "The Errant Friend" who has admitted it was AI generated. The following week the government of Russia reshared the fake image on Twitter. https://observers.france24.com/en/artificial-intelligence-image-julian-assange-russian-embassy https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-julian-assange-photo-966951086074 https://www.bild.de/politik/international/bild-international/the-activist-is-held-in-british-prison-belmarsh-uproar-over-alleged-photo-of-jul-83417456.bild.html https://www.bild.de/politik/international/bild-international/the-activist-is-held-in-british-prison-belmarsh-uproar-over-alleged-photo-of-jul-83417456.bild.html
