[Watch] Gaston Edul y Nati Jota Video Twitter

This Sunday, a new fake news story shook the virtual world, pushing prominent communication experts into the center of online discussions.

This Sunday, the world of social media once again showed its most sensational and manipulative side when a massive rumor caused the names of Nati Jota and Gastón Edul to become extremely trending on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The two colleagues, who had previously been the subject of intense “shipping” among their followers—a form of virtual romantic speculation that, at least officially, had never gone beyond their relationship as colleagues and friends—woke up to find themselves at the center of a viral hoax apparently created solely to attract attention.

The tactic began gaining momentum when various profiles started sharing alarming statements while pretending to have access to supposedly private information about the two.

One user posted: “I was just scrolling through Twitter, and suddenly the video of Nati Jota with Gastón Edul appeared.” Similarly, another post attempted to fuel suspicion, saying: “When people see the leaked video of Nati Jota and Gastón Edul, they’re going to go crazy,” clearly highlighting an attempt to increase engagement at the expense of other people’s reputations.

Fake News About Nati Jota and Gastón Edul: The Clarification That Exposed the Scheme

Amid the wave of speculation and uproar among internet users, it took some time before voices began warning people about the online deception. The entertainment and social media account “Mundo Famosos” stepped in to combat the misinformation and expose how the trend was being generated.

“There is no video of Gastón Edul and Nati Jota, guys. It’s a huge promotional strategy. When you see verified accounts posting the same text, don’t you realize what’s happening?” the account pointed out, while also warning about bot farms and monetized profiles that use fake sexual controversies to make content go viral or redirect traffic across social networks.
