Rumors Spread by Internet & What To Do About It

Honorable Ajay Prakash Sawhney,

In light of the viral rumors about kidnappers spread by social media such as Facebook and WhatsApp, and the recent mob killings of innocent people, I would advise you to proactively step in to curb rumor-mongering on social media. Proactive communication is particularly critical in this day and age – especially for us looking to engage our communities and fight back rumors online.
