In today’s Internet world everyone is news maker or news  breaker . social media networking site like Facebook WhatsApp are used to spread information . Information may be true but  information may be also mis information or  disinformation .


Misinformation for example send by WhatsApp forwarded message  some incorrect fact fact about India’s economy . In WhatsApp University may by created by self proclaimed economist . But actually WhatsApp University professor may not know correct fact .


coming up to disinformation which deliberately spreading misinformation to character assassination of great figure in history or to present leader or to change history . Many IT cell worker setup news website to spread fake news or deliberately change the correct facts .India Today  have many fact checking website are working to curb disinformation .


Today’s India is facing one of the major crisis after  independence due to coronavirus . spreading of news like cow urine can cure covid-19 by clapping covid-19 will go . At least in this situation we need not to spread misinformation or disinformation . We need to know only correct facts .
