Few days back I was travelling in OLA. The driver was only 10th pass and very extrovert person. During conversation he told me that UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has 2 pet lions and he moves with those lions.
I was shocked to listen this kind of stuff from him, I said impossible. The driver was so confident that even I was taken aback. I asked him how come he is so confident. The driver replied that he has seen the photograph by his own eyes. When I asked where, he answered on Whatsapp.
Clearly it was forged photograph but I was thinking about the menace of face social media messages.
Daily we also get so many fake news on our Whatsapp and Facebook.
Someone rightly said, perception is reality. Imagine, there are crores of first time internet users being added every year and fake and forged news will shape their thought process.
It's very dangerous.
I have decided that if any suspicious message or news I get on social media, I don't forward it without doing cross checking at Google. 90% times my gut feel is correct and the message/news proves to be fake.
I request each and every person to take responsibility of stopping and discouraging fake/forged news.
Your few second of carefulness can help to fight against such menace.
Do you promise to support in this good cause?
Jai Hind!!
