Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and others have become breeding grounds for misinformation. Coordinated campaigns from Pakistani users and bots often flood comment sections with fabricated claims, such as Turkey sending missiles and ammunition to Pakistan. These tactics aim to manipulate public opinion, distort facts, and spread propaganda.
Influencers and content creators also contribute by amplifying unverified information for engagement, worsening the problem. Such disinformation undermines trust in digital platforms and disrupts informed discourse. Combating this issue requires collective efforts, including stricter platform moderation, public awareness campaigns, and user vigilance. Social media users must critically assess information, verify sources, and report misleading content to uphold the integrity of online discussions.
