Our previous experience with General Elections teaches us that this is just a start," Jain said."During the Lok Sabha elections, we detected 33,000 pieces of 'fake news'. However, the most active days were either on the day of elections or on results day. The most popular type of content on these days was misinformation about polling booths being moved and dates being changed which could be a possible attempt at voter suppression," he added.( With inputs from IANS )
