     With the rise of digital media, we now consume news from various sources, such as news channels, social media platforms, and websites. However, the prevalence of misinformation has become a global concern. In the age of social media and the Internet, false or misleading content—commonly referred to as fake news—spreads rapidly, often leading to severe consequences.
    The user-generated content on social media platforms facilitates the widespread circulation of misinformation. With billions of users engaging online, unverified information, fake news, doctored images, and planted stories can quickly go viral. This has led to significant consequences, such as public riots, defamation, communal tensions, and misconceptions about critical issues. Such misinformation not only misguides the public but also creates real-world harm, emphasizing the urgent need to address this problem.
    Tech companies have implemented several strategies to curb misinformation. For example, Google introduced its "About This Result" feature, which helps users better evaluate search results. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Google invested $$$$6.5 million to fund fact-checking initiatives globally. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram added awareness pop-ups to connect users with accurate information from trusted authorities like the WHO. Similarly, YouTube introduced a Medical Misinformation Policy to prevent the spread of false health-related content. WhatsApp limited message forwarding to stop viral fake news and partnered with fact-checkers to ensure accuracy. Instagram reduces the visibility of false content, either by removing it or lowering its distribution in users' feeds.

     The fight against misinformation requires global cooperation. Major tech companies like Meta and Google have partnered with civil society organizations to launch mass-scale awareness campaigns, particularly in countries like India. These campaigns aim to educate the public about identifying and preventing the spread of misinformation.
    Users play a crucial role in combating this issue by taking simple steps, such as verifying information from legitimate sources, avoiding the sharing of unverified or harmful content, and adhering to community guidelines on platforms.
