The spread of misinformation on social media platforms poses a significant challenge to public order in Kerala. To counter this, the Kerala Police have adopted several strategies to monitor, identify, and address false information that could lead to social unrest. The police work closely with social media platforms to track accounts spreading fake news and take legal action where necessary.
Additionally, the Kerala Police have launched awareness campaigns to educate the public on how to identify fake news and the importance of verifying information before sharing it. By working with digital forensics experts, the police can trace the origins of viral misinformation and quickly debunk it, preventing panic or violence from occurring. Kerala Police are also engaging with local influencers and media to promote responsible online behavior and encourage citizens to report suspicious content.
