Together for a Safer, Better-Informed India
Protect India from Misinformation
False information weakens trust, divides communities and puts people at risk. This campaign helps every Indian spot it, stop it and report it, and asks you to join the effort.
Why this matters
Misinformation is false content shared without intent to harm. Disinformation is false content spread on purpose. Both travel quickly on messaging apps and social media, and both hurt ordinary people first.
Rumours That Spark Panic
False forwards about health, safety or communal tension spread faster than the truth and can lead to real harm.
Fake News and Doctored Media
Edited images, old videos shown as new, and AI-generated content are used to mislead people about events and leaders.
Scams Dressed Up as News
Fraudsters use false alerts and fake official messages to steal money and personal data.
Coordinated Influence Operations
Organised networks push narratives to divide communities and weaken trust in institutions and elections.
