fake news from the far right

I saw news early on Monday that Tom Hanks had supposedly deleted three years' worth of tweets from his Twitter account, had acquired Greek citizenship along with his wife, and was now using Greece as a haven to avoid impending charges about pedophilia because in Greece (supposedly), pedophilia isn't treated as a crime, but rather as a disability.

Well, the real story is that Hanks and his wife did indeed gain honorary Greek citizenship based in part on charity work they've done. Hanks owns property in Greece as well, and he and his wife see it as the most beautiful spot on Earth. As for pedophilia: no evidence, no substance, just rumors burbling out of the minds of the febrile far right, quite possibly from QAnon partisans. Oh, and visit Hanks's up-to-date Twitter feed.

Don't let confirmation bias tempt you into believing everything you read.
