| Summary, etc | The use of fake news in warfare is not new, but its impact has grown significantly in the digital age due to unregulated social media platforms. This article highlights how fake news, particularly in conflicts, has evolved through advanced tools like artificial intelligence to create false narratives. For instance, in Sep 2024, misinformation campaigns used doctored videos to falsely implicate the Israeli Defence Forces, illustrating the destructive power of disinformation. In conflicts such as those between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, fake news has included inflated body counts and mislabelled photographs, fostering mistrust and influencing public opinion. Disinformation, once a tactical warfare tool, now threatens stability by misdirecting civilians and exacerbating conflicts. While International Humanitarian Law allows certain disinformation as a ‘Ruse of war’, the unchecked spread of fake news via platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp raises significant concerns. In India, adversaries have leveraged these platforms to spread anti-government propaganda, prompting the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to block several channels spreading fake news. This article concludes that combating disinformation requires regulating content, promoting digital literacy, enhancing public awareness, and investing in factchecking mechanisms. Proactive international collaboration is vital to counter its weaponisation and safeguard public trust.- Reproduced http://43.227.186.66/pdf/20250128100643.pdf |
