A survey has found India has more fake news and internet hoaxes than anywhere else in the world.

The report, by Microsoft, found 64 per cent of Indians had encountered fake news, compared to the global average of 57 per cent.

Meanwhile, 54 per cent had come across internet hoaxes, in comparison to 50 per cent worldwide.

Internet hoaxes in particular have had murderous consequences in India. The Standard reported how more than 40 people were killed in the country last year amid a plague of smartphone-fuelled mob murders by ordinary citizens.

Experts said fake WhatsApp warnings about child abductors would whip up fear in communities, leading to brutal lynchings.

It led to WhatsApp enforcing new rules which limited the number of times messages could be forwarded to new people.

The platform is also gearing up for this year’s national elections, the biggest in the world with 800 million eligible to vote. CNN reported how the app is using artificial intelligence to detect accounts which spread “problematic content”.

Meanwhile, the Microsoft report about online interactions in India also found 29 per cent of people face “risks” from friends and family, one per cent above the global average.

Not surprised.

This is a country that thinks anything that happens is a miracle and would worship anything they could see
 
They'll probably start worshiping smartphones like they did for toilets in some village
 
'300 terrorists were killed'

Fake telephonic calls

Journalists calling for war

Completely fabricated news.

Asking guests who give contrary viewpoints to go to Pakistani channels.

Indian media really has shone in the past week.
 
Hahaha so glad that legit 3rd party sources are exposing the disgusting environment of indian news and media. Hopefully now some indians will have an epiphany and not trust everything they come across
 
7% higher than world average but it's a very number and it's causing damage within the country than outside.

Funny thing happening in this thread is that those people who used to share and even start threads on PP based on fake news couple of days before are making fun of Indians.

How do Indians feel about their media? I mean if our media had such a bad reputation I would verify twice to believe any news coming from them.

MIG 21 downing F-16
Masood getting injured and his network targeted
Modi putting pressure on IK to release their pilot
Abhinandan getting mentally tortured

Indian media has been really a laughing stock so far in this whole saga.
 
India has entered full election mode: voting is due to begin on 11 April, with the final ballot cast more than five weeks later on 19 May. Every day, the BBC will be bringing you all the latest updates on the twists and turns of the world's largest democracy.

WhatsApp has launched a fact-checking service, where users can send in messages, photos and videos that they want verified. They will then be told if it's true, false, disputed or misleading.

The "checkpoint tipline" (9643-000-888), as it is known, is meant to counter fake news and misinformation ahead of India's general election.

The feature will be available in English and four Indian languages - Hindi, Telugu, Bengali and Malayalam.

Why is this important?

WhatsApp has been under scrutiny in India, where misinformation spread via the app has fuelled mob violence.

Facing pressure from the Indian government, the platform was forced last year to implement several features to curb fake news. It limited the number of times a message could be forwarded and marked such messages with a label so users were aware.

With an estimated 200 million users, India is WhatsApp's biggest market. It is also the most popular internet-based service in the country. This means it has tremendous reach, allowing messages to spread quickly and exponentially.

In recent years, WhatsApp in India has become notorious for viral and often unverified political messaging - text, photos and, most of all, videos that sometimes promote conspiracy theories and outright false information.

"This tipline will help create a database of rumours to study misinformation during elections," WhatsApp said in a statement.

With WhatsApp and Facebook being increasingly used for campaigning, India's Election Commission has said it will hold politicians accountable for what they say on social media platforms.

Other social media platforms have also been under scrutiny in India ahead of the election. Most recently, Facebook removed more than 600 pages linked to India's main opposition Congress party.

At least we are free to believe in what we want unlike others. Freedom to decide or choose is the best feeling but you won't get it.

even thats a lie that has been told to you.
 
Absurd and outrageous claim. India is the land of Truth and Non Violence. In fact we put Truth above everything else. Looks like a claim by an indiaphobe hater who is jealous of our peaceful culture and is spreading lies.
 
India also has more online trolls than anywhere else in the world. So fake news + trolls are a very deadly combination. One such troll is just above this post. :inti
 
There is fake news, and then there is the acceptance of fake news.

Fake news can be found everywhere West, and East.

The difference is whether people are smart enough to question such news.

The reality is in the West people are now beginning to question everything they read, especially after the mother of all fake news, Iraq 2003, whereas in India, fake news is accepted as truth without reason or logic.

This is down to education more than anything else.
 
Perhaps we should start from the beginning then? It’s interesting that those who buy into current fake news are (rightly so) mocked yet if you believe in flying horses, talking snakes, people walking on water, half human half animal ‘avatars’ of god, angels, demons etc then it’s all good and society should just tolerate it. :)

They are also free, I don't need to ask. We see them everyday.

I don't know where do you guys getting all this info? lol..

Indian muslims are happier than you guys so stop worrying about them, I know they don't worry about you guys.
 
even thats a lie that has been told to you.

what lies? like you never been told any lies. you have been brainwashed for last 70 years starting from Jinha to IK, everything served to you was lie and you can verify by just looking around

Putting my neutral Brit hat on, I have to say that fake news is less likely to fly in Pakistan as well, as that country has built a reputation for conspiracy theory. Thus with a naturally sceptical and questioning mind, they are less likely to be duped by fake news no matter where it comes from.

Indians also have a naturally sceptical and questioning mind just like Pakistanis, when it comes to news/facts which go against their beliefs.

Also Pakistani media houses are inherently anti-government and anti-establishment. The same media houses that were severely against the previous government are now doing the exact same with the present government.


The end beneficiary is the population of Pakistan who get a clearer picture of the actual situation.


It's not like India where the army claims to do fake surgical strikes killing 300 people and stay in airspace for 21 mins or they show the shattered remains of an anti-air missile from PAF jet as proof of Pak jet being shot down and the whole population laps it up as established fact. Nobody had the gall to question that the only reason an anti-air missile will shatter is if it hit it's intended target, had it missed it will just run out of fuel and drop to the ground taking some damage but wouldn't shatter into pieces. :inti


The difference between Pak and India media is same as US and Uganda.

they arnt happy.

have met them and seen the conditions they live in in India

I am sure you understand that there is nothing like perfect. Every country have problems so does India.

Bigger question for you is the status of Hindus/Sikhs/Christians in Pakistan.
 
To those bringing up Pakistan, might I add that the civilians are brainwashed into believing the brazen lies of the Indo-Pakistan conflict, alongside the history of Bangladesh and Balochistan. The entire history of the nation is distorted and the people are living ignorantly in denial. Is this not fake news?

Lol.

who is denying history.

I am sure you didn't find a secret book of history that no other Pakistani has seen it.

Laughable.
 
All countries have fake press going..not a big deal

Fruits of Fake news.

There are millions of like this person.

Status: Pakistani.

And you do not see any Pakistani trying to justify their plight in Pakistan, same can't be said about Indian Majority.
 
Indians also have a naturally sceptical and questioning mind just like Pakistanis, when it comes to news/facts which go against their beliefs.

Everyone should have a questioning mind so I congratulate you on that , but Pakistanis have an international reputation as conspiracy theorists which validates their questioning nature. Why many Indians themselves have bestowed this title on Pakistanis so it cannot be in doubt. Fake news can never fly in Pakistan for this very reason.
 
they arnt happy.

have met them and seen the conditions they live in in India

Right, because meeting them for a week is enough to judge almost 200 muslims in India. I've lived with them for much longer. Seemed perfectly happy to me.

I suggest Pakistanis start focusing on their own issues. Most Indian Muslims do not want any sympathy from Pakistanis, and are just as patriotic as others.

Mingle with many Indian muslims daily from US and Canada.

And you are wrong and lying.

It is very hard to believe someone who spread fake news daily on a Pakistani forum.

The entire nation of India celebrated the return of wing commander Abhi and called him a hero because “he shot down the Pakistani f16”

Surprised he has disappeared in to the abyss and hasn’t been on tv sharing his stories of shooting down the f16..the remains of which are still yet to be found in either country

Meeting muslims in US and Canada is not a big enough sample size to make any conclusions. Stop spreading lies and spend some time to protect minorities in your country.

Surely, you can post some empirical evidence as to how Indian Muslims have fared socioeconomically since the partition to correct the record.

I would believe the words of those who I see them almost weekly than someone who support radicalized extremists hindu nationalist Party.

Plenty of Muslims of India who believe under radicalized extremists hindu nationalists party has gotten worse.

Spend some time? do you see me justifying plight of minorities in Pakistan?
 
and what you doing right now is not fake news? calling some one fake doesn't make you right!

which part was fake?

calling you believer of a fake news?

status: Pakistani is a fake news?

Or you do not see any Pakistani justifying the plight of minority is a fake news?

stop embarrassing yourself.

I don't know how it's in Pakistani military but any serving military personnel can't just come to media and give stories in India. Military has a strict protocol and interaction with civilians is minimal.

You will have to wait till he retires to hear his story, that is if he decides to share to media.

Lol Pakistanis believe Muslims are living a bad life in India, Indians believe Muslims are enjoying life in India.

Both sides want to believe what suits their narrative.

In general Indians are basically living a life as per their social status and not religion or caste. Indians are just socio-economic racists of the highest order.

Lol. Why not do an interview with him. Indians have already claimed he was tortured and given psychedelics. Let the nation hear and celebrate his brave story of shooting an f16 down and coming back from the evil crutches of the big bad PAK military

I also interact with plenty of Indian Muslims here in the US, and have never heard anyone badmouth India.

Feel free to believe what you want. But I don't understand why Pakistanis are trying so hard to create this narrative that Muslims are ill-treated in India. Again, Indian Muslims want absolutely nothing to do with Pakistan and certainly don't want your sympathy.

It seems your only motive in life is to interact with muslims all over the world. I am saying this because I have been hearing this same cr@p from you for the past couple of months that how you interact with muslims and blah blah. No you don't, so please stop fooling people around here. You are as fake as most of our news channels.
 
I also interact with plenty of Indian Muslims here in the US, and have never heard anyone badmouth India.

maybe because they know you are hindutva and you would not believe anything they would say and to avoid confrontation they avoid talking to you about it.

LOL, as if any one need your permission to feel whatever they want to.
By posting one video to support your narrative? Google Muslim treated bad in India, and I can assure you that you will countless video of ill-treatment of Muslims of India by Bhakths and Hindutva.




When did I say that Indian Musims want anything to do with Pakistan?

It is Hindutva who wants every Indian Muslims, in some cases Hindus, to move to Pakistan just because they criticized radicalized extremists hindu nationalists government. Do you not watch India TV? you seem to be very active posting fake news article regarding Pakistan on Pakpassion.



You do not interact with Muslims, it is very easy to see through you.

Do not care much about Indian Muslims.

I am sure they do not care about Pakistani Musims either.

But mostly Muslims are told to move to Pakistan as soon as they criticized India or butchered for transporting an animal.

Next time come up with a response that is closer to reality.

Well put. The entire foundation of this country is built on fake news.

You need to post more.
 
For all its faults, the fact is .. if you are an honest mediahouse in India who pays your taxes, you can report on anything you want and no one will stop you.

Compare that with Pakistan where there are clear no-go areas that any newspaper will touch because the Fauj won't allow them to. Balochistan is the most easy example here. Hamid Mir got shot reporting on Balochistan and he's never touched it again. He's never had a threat after that. Pakistan's media should be compared to China's, not any democracy.

Something else I've noticed is how pakistani posters here post articles/clips almost entirely from the more reckless parts of the Indian media like Zee,IndiaTV etc .. and ignore outlets like TheWire, NDTV, Hindu, IndianExpress. It would be like getting your idea about the british media from reading only the DailyMail .

All you have to do is search Imran Khan's speech related to Baluchistan.

He hasn't been shot by Fauj ;)


Stop comparing Pakistani media with garbage Indian media.

Sure there are many Indian anchors who do not drop to the level of loud mouth aunty of India, Arnab, but he seems to be getting very high ratings in India.

LOL that's exactly what someone would say who is being fed bucketloads of Indian propaganda by their garbage media.




Heck you were the guy who kept trying to sell the theory that Kashmiris in Azad Kashmir beat to death a Pakistani pilot. :))

This is THE PUNCH of great Ali, hands down. Unfortunately as literacy rate will grow, people will realise what they have been fed for all these years and what crimes their leaders have committed towards the Pakistanis and how they have kept them blind in believing fake stories to run their factories.
 
Surely, you can post some empirical evidence as to how Indian Muslims have fared socioeconomically since the partition to correct the record.

I would suggest that you look at the data online on Socio Economic of Muslims in India, they are not staggering so does for other citizens but they are progressive at least.

Sorry I don't know how to post the screen shots or I would have done it.

Spoken like a true gullible Bhakth.

Every Pakistani knows about Pakistani military establishment, it isn’t a secret.

Even the elected PM has said many times that Nawas Sharif is the product of Army against Benazir.

Army of Pakistan hasn’t hidden its affairs nor people of Pakistan are oblivious to them.

When a Bhakth can’t defend the embarrassment they resort to attack the people of Pakistan as naive and gullible believing that they do not know about military, ah, we do ;).

When it comes to kashmir, majority of Pakistani will always back the people of Kashmir against the occupying Indian army, will always speak against the killing of innocents and rape by occupying Indian army.
 
Lol.

who is denying history.

I am sure you didn't find a secret book of history that no other Pakistani has seen it.

Laughable.

I was simply alluding to some of the posters doing bhangra over India having more fake news than Pakistan. Every major country has some parts of their history that they'd like to have tucked away and forgotten, but that is much easier to do in Pakistan, where the military serves as the puppetmaster for a relatively gullible population.

What news had been hidden and which Pakistani isn’t aware of Pakistani military being the most powerful entity in Pakistan?

No one is doing Bhangra rather pointing out simple fact that most Indians are ignorant to it.

You can chose to believe whatever reality you want. You don't live here so your reality is based on media articles which only show 0.00001% of the reality. If you want to live your life that ways then sure be my guest.
But that doesn't change the fact that Muslims or anyone else in India lives the same life which is dependant on their social status.

I don't think you are from military family so you will not understand.. He is an active military personnel, he can't give comments to media. Military has strict protocols they can't break those protocols just to please the general population. That's the job of government and media to show news which boost people's ego.

You are mixing two things, in reality I believe every military follows the same protocol where a serving military personnel who is deployed on the front lines is not authorized to talk to media.

Let him retire and when he does maybe he publishes book you can buy that and read all about it
 
Spoken like a true gullible Bhakth.

Every Pakistani knows about Pakistani military establishment, it isn’t a secret.

Nothing gullible about this Bakht. Topic was about India producing more fake news than anywhere else in the world so as a committed patriot he seized on the chance to deflect that criticism towards Pakistan instead of asking why that should be. Only gullible ones here are the poster he was replying to and the not so gullible resident India cheerleader who predictably chimed in.

oh man, calm down. I never had Pak Army in mind when I wrote this. I was referring to Politicians & jagirdaars and mullahs etc. Chill guy!

Captain, this online forum is to discuss and argue on topics. There is nothing personal here, I hope you understand the rules of online forums where people speak up their mind. Don't take it personal...without 2 sides, you wont come back to this forum everyday.

Unless you want only your side of story but that would make this board very boring. Enjoy the discussion and arguments, as long as it doesn't get personal.

This goes to everyone, learn to discuss rather than get offended and act defensive. Its all for fun, not that any of us here have any power or money to change anything or else we were not be here in first place.

Hope this helps! Cheers...

Try using the threads about Pakistan for discussing Pakistan issues instead of deflecting from criticism of India as a defence mechanism. Not every purpose is best served by what-about-ism. Apart from anything else, critics of Pakistan often describe it as a theocracy/failed state/military govt etc. So how does it help India's credentials by comparing unfavourably to such a nation?

Exactly, i chose to believe facts and I would believe to someone who had personally experienced it daily then someone who is ashamed to admit that their country has a problem.

Dependent on their social status, nice way to deflect and justify discrimination.

Try it with someone else.

Almost every Bhakth does that.

If nothing works then they end up on, we got more $$$ bills y'all.

Yup you can live a delusionaled life if it keeps you happy. A lot of Pakistanis I met are actually delusionaled so you are bo different.

Good luck

Not to generalise but if he was from north he would have tried to gain mileage after retirement from this incident, made money from book or tried a hand at politics.

South Indians are generally calm and don't get into all this.

Time will tell what happens.

Yup you can live a delusionaled life if it keeps you happy. A lot of Pakistanis I met are actually delusionaled so you are bo different.

Good luck

You interacted with Pakistani. lol

Why does feelings get hurt when a Indian Muslim rightly criticized radicalized extremists hindu nationalist Party?

I don't care about any political party and I criticize them all myself.
I was just telling you how it worka in India however you seem either delusionaled or have half cooked facts or are just here to troll.

In India there is animosity between Hindus and Muslims. Political parties gain mileage from this animosity and further fuel it for their personal gains. However the violence most of the times happen against the economically weaker sections. The violence is generally conducted by workers of political parties who are mostly the ones who used to commit petty mischiefs from school time. These are the ones who come in politics for the power and the highlight of the day is when they get in fight or a cop stops them they call some small level politician and get away. They enjoy this kind of power.
Second is the mob violence, it is generally inticed by a leader (who is affiliated to a politicians in some way) the mob who indulge in violence is just stupid and again feel the rush of power when they get to beat a defenceless person. These are the same people who cannot do anything one to one but when 100s of them they taste the power and enjoy it. Sheepherd cutlure.

Back in the day most of the mafias/criminals were Muslims in UP/Bihar. The Muslims of the areas of these mafias used to enjoy the same power culture and threaten and indulge in violence against hindus (mostly against socially weaker ones).

In short the violence mostly happens against the weaker sections irrespective of the religion or caste. It's the same case with dalits, the dalits who are at the receiving end of such violence are generally the poor ones.

A country is defined by its people and Indians have a huge power culture defined ego and are socio-economic racists of the highest order where a person driving an Audi will look down on a person driving a Maruti, who will look down on person driving a motor bike who himself will look down on a person driving a rickshaw who himself will look down on a beggar irrespective of the religion or caste.

This is generally the trend atleast in northern part of India, there are good and caring people around too who don't treat people based of their economic status or religion/caste.

It will take atleast 50-70 years to move past these barriers.

Dude you said every Pakistani you met was delusional and I replied that I highly doubt that you would interact with any Pakistani considering what you had typed about Pakistani, being delusional.

If you did then you wouldn't be calling them delusional.

You didn't have to explain the history of India or current situation in India.

It is quite clear most Hindutva are happy as long as they get false sense of being superior in their own land.
 
Recent events are proving the fact once again that how BJP, RSS and Hindutva brigade are spreading fake news for their agendas and fooling the nation.
