that's slighly different, because you are sharing an article from a news organization, you can place the blame and/or trust on that organization, but just random people posting a picture with some text? i would dismiss 100%

Sure, but it's still my source of news, even if it's an aggregator of other sources. I'm a lot less likely to see some piece of news if it isn't posted to some social media site I'm part of.

But yeah, if someone on SM claims a thing happened, I want proof. If a news organization I respect claims a thing happened, I trust that they have proof.
