WhatsApp, the most used messaging app in the world, has adopted many ways to deal with fake news in India, but many people are spreading fake news even today. This can be quite troublesome for users. If seen, users can also tackle this problem themselves. For this, they just have to flag fake news. However, a study has revealed that fake news can be avoided in some other ways also. This study has been done keeping India in focus. This study has been done by the University of Pennsylvania, Leiden University and IE University.
Regarding this matter, the report said that WhatsApp should be made available some other buttons which will be different from the report, Investigate (Red Flag). They may also have a Doubt button. Through these buttons, users will get different opinions of users about any news. If seen, it is becoming a big challenge for the company to completely stop the misinformation among Indian users. The main reason for this is that WhatsApp users are not able to see chat due to end-to-end encryption.
