Chennai: During these Covid-19 times, a lot of rumours is being spread on various social media platforms.
When misinformation and inaccurate news is rampant, as responsible netizens, we all need to be extremely careful with what we create and share online.
Fake news is harmful, makes us ill-informed, erodes trust and impacts communities. A Public Service Announcement (PSA) titled #MatKarForward has been launched to help raise awareness among the digital community around creation and sharing of misinformation.
Directed by Anurag Basu, the PSA features some of the most credible voices in the country including Virat Kohli, Sara Ali Khan, Ayushmann Khurrana and Kriti Sanon who have joined forces with TikTok to lend their support in spreading the #MatKarForward message, far and wide.
Given the deluge of information today, the PSA urges the netizens to verify the details from credible sources before sharing it with others.
