Analysing Indian Social Media Users Spreading Bangladesh-Related 'Fake News' - The Quint
An analysis by a Bangladeshi fact-checking organisation Rumor Scanner found that “72% of the accounts spreading… misinformation” related to Bangladesh’s interim head Mohammed Yunus and the socio-political climate “are located in India”.
The Quint’s WebQoof, which also has been working to debunking mis and disinformation, related to the crisis in Bangladesh has published at least 70 discrete fact-checks since August. In our work, we were able to identify six unique X accounts, all subscribers of X Premium, which routinely spread harmful narratives and misinformation related to Bangladesh - with some having millions of followers and garners even more views.
It was not just X, users on other social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube were also responsible in spreading disinformation on the topic. We also covered misinformation spread by Hindi and English media organisations. In this month’s analysis, we look at the Indian social media users and media organisations who were responsible for spreading misinformation about the situation in Bangladesh.
