To be fair, everyone can and will be tricked at some point by fake pictures, the post may have been a genuine attempt to inform.
But it definitely needs to be edited in the title and description once it’s clear that it’s misleading.
In my view that’s a lot more than fair, that’s giving OP the benefit of the doubt, and/or a pass for not verifying something’s authenticity before re-broadcasting it like it’s a fact.
Everyone can and will be tricked, but everyone’s first impulse isn’t to run to show everyone who will listen the thing you’ve been tricked by, by re-posting it somewhere, and explicitly claiming its real- OP took the time to write that the fabricated image was, indeed, a “satellite image” in the body of the post without knowing that for sure.
