The Battle Against Fake News
Tonight, on India vs Fake News, NDTV's Amitoj Singh discusses about Election Commission's meeting with the representatives of Social Media platforms and what it entails to commit to facilitate transparency via news during the elections. The main fact check was whether China said that "if the Indian Opposition didn't consider Masood Azhar a terrorist then why should we?" The second aspect that was focused on was why didn't anyone report live stream of the New Zealand Terror attack on Facebook?
