WhatsApp rolls out 'Forwarded' label to fight misinformation
WhatsApp was pulled up by the Indian government on July 3 and directed to take immediate action in the light of growing instances of lynching of innocent people owing to irresponsible messages filled with rumours and provocation circulated on its platform.
More than 30 people have been killed in the past one year by lynch mobs after rumours of child lifting triggered by messages on WhatsApp. Image source: Reuters
