The phenomenon of fake news

I have already mentioned in previous videos that
How the fake news are spreading
But nowadays
The phenomena of fake news is
increased day by day which that turns to death
On 31 May 2017
in Jharkhand Seven people are lynched by mob
They killed believing in fake WhatsApp Message
Now you can see the dangerous phenomena of fake news
From this you can also be killed
So it is important to know how to fight against fake news
In this video I would like to tell you
How to spot Fake News
How to identify fake news
How to distinguish between fake news and real news
Lets see
The first source of fake news is WhatsApp forward
For WhastApp forward , I have a simple advice
If WhatsApp forward has a simple text
without any source link then don't believe
because the chances,it would be fake
Specially if it has Praised anybody
or insulting somebody
These are the two purpose for spreading fake news
Praise somebody which is High positive
Or insult somebody which is Highly Negative
if it has only text then don't believe
it would be fake
if you want to know the text is fake r not
for that you just want to search the keyword in Google
Search the main content in Google
from the Google Search Results you can know
the content is fake are real. Now i will show you the Example
Recently
One of the famous fake WhatsApp Message is gone Viral
Congratulations Modi has been declared the best PM by UNESCO
Now Search the
Main keyword in Google
Modi best PM UNESCO
See
After Searching the Result shows
fake news ,
Hoax
like this you can know this is fake news
Similarly now one of the Message got Viral
Unite Nation honours Mamata Banerjee for public service
To see this news is fake r real
Google it as mamta banerjee un award
from this Google Results you can know
this is real news,because there is not any mention about fake news
Here all News websites has same News
which is all Credible top Mainstream News papers
Outside of Politics also it happens
One company defame to other company
Just like one fake WhatsApp Message as
Cancer causing Blood has been mixed in to Pepsi
To defame Pepsi the opposition company may be forward this fake Message
The next Dangerous is Photoshops
Those who are doing Photoshops they also have same
agenda of those who are WhatsApp forward
Praise someone
Or to Insult ,defame
If you see photos like any from this two
then you can suspect it may be
photoshope
How can we identify it is Photoshoped or not ?
To know Use Reverse Google Image Search
Download that Image and upload it in
I will show you the example
This is Yogi Adityanath Photo which shows it defame him
Just download this image and upload it in
www.ctrlq.com www.images.google.com
you can get Search Results like in Google
Where the photos has been used
After seeing the Search result
we can easily know the
left side image is photoshoped from the right side of image
This image is photoshoped
Now 3rd thing is Fake News Articles
here you should need to
Check the Websites name which you are reading
If the Website is from Mainstream media
like Indian Express, Times of India,Hindustan Times, Economics Times
then 99% of the times it is true
The 1% which is not true , We will talk about later
If the Websites is not above , then you need to see the Websites name
Mostly Similar sounding names from Mainstream websites are being used
For Example BBC.com which they have fake website BBCNewspoint.com
Lots of fake messages has been spread from BBCNewspoint.com
This is fake news Website.
There are lot of fake Websites is there
Which has similar sounding names of Mainstream Websites
They spreads fakes news
Here they call Independent blogs
but they also spreads fake news and propaganda regularly.
The well known fake blogs i have collected
Don't believe from this listed blogs
Because they will not mention any source
and regularly spreading fake news , which also have many proofs
To Identify fake news i would like to give u more tips
Check your bias
Mostly if you not like someone and
to need to know bad about him.if you read it without any knowledge
and you shared it
This is one of the reason of spreading fake news
It is important to control our Bias
Whenever you have doubts in nay news Google it
Using this techniques which i have shown.
Fake news always attacks our Emotions , happiness
angryness, sadness ,enticement
Our tendency is increased to sharing the fake news
Similarly Don't trust any Government agencies and any Government officials tweets
Because lots of cases we have seen that
where our politicians , Ministers sharing the fake news.
