Answer 1

Answer:

Fake news in India refers to misinformation, disinformation or mal-information[1] in the country which is spread through word of mouth and traditional media and more recently through digital forms of communication such as edited videos, memes, unverified advertisements and social media propagated rumours.[2][3] Fake news spread through social media in the country has become a serious problem, with the potential of it resulting in mob violence, as was the case where at least 20 people were killed in 2018 as a result of misinformation circulated on social media.[4][5]

Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, director at Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, thinks that "the problems of disinformation in a society like India might be more sophisticated and more challenging than they are in the West".[6] The damage caused due to fake news on social media has increased due to the growth of the internet penetration in India, which has risen from 137 million internet users in 2012 to over 600 million in 2019.[7] India is the largest market for WhatsApp, with over 230 million users, and as a result one of the main platforms on which fake news is spread.[8][9] One of the main problems is of receivers believing anything sent to them over social media due to lack of awareness.[10][11] Various initiatives and practices have been started and adopted to curb the spread and impact of fake news.[
