How to identify viral fake videos on social media? know


Identify fake videos on Social Media: Currently 2 videos of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas are viral on social media. In one of the videos, a child is crying sitting next to his father's dead body. Also another video shows a pregnant woman's stomach exposed and claims to document the testimony of paramilitary forces handling the bodies of victims after a Hamas attack in Israel on 7 October 2023.

Deepfake has become challenging

Although both of these videos are real, they have nothing to do with the events they claim to be about. The child's clip is from Syria in 2016 while the woman's video is from Mexico in 2018. Deepfakes have been reported in many recent news. Creating these types of videos does not require much resources. It is also very easy to simply change the date and location or use a clip from a video game to present it as a battlefield.

People become delusional due to social media virality

These types of fake videos can be avoided by taking some precautions. For which it is necessary to get information about the source of that video. However, it is very difficult to get information about it. Because most people believe what they see on social media without knowing it or realizing it. Because most people are not ready to believe that they too can be deceived.

It is very easy to identify fake videos

Images or videos that provoke public sentiments, despite being fake, quickly go viral on social media. People can't understand in anger whether the video they are promoting is genuine or fake. By keeping just a few things in mind, the difference between genuine and fake videos can be discerned. Like do you really know what you're looking at? Is the person posting the footage an established reporter whose credibility is questionable? Is there a link to a longer video? Remember, the smaller the clip, the more careful you need to be.

Know, how likely is Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover to be operational again?

Image
New Delhi, September 26, 2023, Tuesday Last month, ISRO achieved a major achievement by landing the Chandrayaan-3 rover on the surface of the moon. Vikram Lander successfully made history by making a soft landing on the southern part of the moon. The Pragyan rover, which came out of the Vikram lander, conducted research for 14 days with the help of solar and sent data. 14 days on earth equals one day on the moon, that is, if we calculate on the basis of the earth, there are 14 days of light and 14 days of darkness on the moon. In the absence of sunlight, the temperature drops as low as minus 200 to 250 Celsius. The batteries of the lander and the rover are not capable of withstanding the shock of such low temperatures. The rover is currently in hibernation. Although scientists cannot say for sure whether the batteries will work in the presence of sunlight on the lunar surface, they have not given up hope. It has been sending signals continuously since September 22. Batteries can be...
