With the problem of fake news becoming more widespread across all online platforms, net bigwigs are doing their best to adjourn the menace by announcing new steps seemingly every other day. Political parties themselves are at present also stepping in to enquire their workers to refrain from posting fake items online to avoid losing credibility among people.
According to sources quoted by the PTI, BJP president Amit Shah, today asked his party cadres to avoid posting fake pictures, information and messages on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms.
