TheWire.in on my documentary "India's Disinformation War" -- "Channel News Asia (CNA), a Singapore-based news network, released their documentary, Fact vs Fiction-India’s disinformation war, about the spread of misinformation in India on March 30. It reveals that false information is being produced to influence millions, with the BJP’s IT cell in a leading role. Fact-checking is hardly possible at this scale. This impacts voting, health, and polarization of communities, often by triggering physical violence. A global survey conducted in 2023 showed that misinformation and disinformation are the top threats in India, outranking infectious disease, illicit economic activity, and inequality. An interviewee describes the misinformation spread on social media as a “drip by drip poison” in the brain. It also covers several interventions which seek to counter the spread of misinformation in India." https://lnkd.in/eKenizWG
