Stopping spread of fake messages not rocket science: Prasad
IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has said stopping the spread of fake messages on social media cannot be "rocket science". His comments came after several mob lynching incidents were reported following the circulation of child-lifting rumours on WhatsApp. "We found that disinformation on WhatsApp played a major role in instigating violence...they must remain responsible and vigilant," Prasad added.
