On Monday evening, a truck sped through a Christmas market at Berlin's Breitscheidplatz. As is so often the case after such events, fake news spread quickly.
Soon thereafter, however, Twitter users began posting photos of their cats with the hashtag #KatzenStattSpekulationen, or #CatsNotSpeculation, in an effort to fight back against the flood of rumors and false reports.
This kitty knows that oversight and prudence are especially important in chaotic situations such as this.
"It's important to look at the whole picture... #catsnotspeculation"

And this cat knows that cute animal pics are way, way better than spreading lies and prejudice.
"#CatsNotSpeculation if you don't know anything, it's better to post pictures of cats than to spread prejudice."
