While wires, cables, and other network cables cluttering the streets continue to be a concern in society, a photo shows multiple cross-linked network views posted by Facebook users. The post was shared and commented on many times by social media users; however, based on Fact Crescendo Cambodia's fact-finding, the photo posted on Facebook is not real.

This is about our investigation of this claim.

Social Media Claim
