Take all these journalists claiming "40 babies were beheaded" for a start. Even the government of israel denied it

It should be fairly easy to "prove" 40 babies have been beheaded

What about he "children in cages" ? Repurposed videos from Syria a few years ago, easily debunked, yet it got hundred thousands of views on twitter

The EU Commission letter has a few examples. Easy enough for a moderation team to spot, if there was a moderation team in place. Complaining that it is difficult is no reason to skip moderation altogether.

Repurposed footage from other wars or video games was called out in the letter, seems like a fast and uncontroversial definition of false.

Sure. False as in fake as in it never happened. Which is what's happening on X and what the EU has examples of.
