By MYBRANDBOOK
The Government of India’s Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check division has uncovered three YouTube channels spreading misinformation on the platform. These channels had a combined subscriber base of nearly 330,000 and over 300 million views.
As per the report, the three YouTube channels were spreading false and sensational claims about the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, Government schemes, EVMs, farm loan waivers, etc.
Fake news such as the Supreme Court ruling on ballot paper elections, the government giving money to those with bank accounts, Aadhar Cards, and PAN cards, and ban on EVMs was circulated via the three channels.
Additionally, the channels were also monetizing misinformation through ads on their videos. In the recent past, PIB Fact Check Unit has blocked over 100 such channels spreading misinformation as ordered by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting.
