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.

The population of our country is so much that everywhere we have to stand in line waiting for our turn. Over the years we have become accustomed to lines , bored and bored. But as you may have also noticed , many of the previous lines are now starting to disappear!

The transmission power of Corona virus sticking to the surface decreases after 5 days - research

Image
London, 10, June, 2020, Wednesday It is common knowledge that the corona virus is spread from person to person through sneezing and nasal and oral droplets, as well as if the corona virus is spread on a plastic metal or other surface. There has been a lot of research on how long the corona virus survives on which surface, but the research done by the University College London in Britain is shocking. According to research published in the Journal of Hospital Infections, corona viruses can live on any surface for up to five days at most. It can spread to a large area within the first 10 hours when the transmissible power of the corona virus, which landed on the surface on the fifth day, was reduced. Observed after 10 hours, it spread to every corner of the ward. During the experiment Corona used a virus to infect artificial plants with a virus for a patient's breath that could not infect a man. Both viruses were then found in a drop of water and left on the bed railing. The viru...

For the first time in the history of medical science, an HIV patient recovered automatically

Image
New York, September 1, 2020, Tuesday There is no cure for HIV / AIDS in the world. Some medications can prolong life but do not destroy the virus that weakens the immune system. However, scientists and doctors are surprised that an HIV patient recovers without any treatment. There have been two previous cases in which the virus did not re-enter the body after bone marrow transfer, but it is the first time that the HIV virus has exited without any treatment, perhaps because the immune system has destroyed it. According to information published in the journal Nature, the doctors examined 120 million cells in the body. The AIDS patient was then named ECTU. The fact that the body was free of the HIV virus meant that the body had eliminated it. In addition, 100 million cells from another AIDS patient were examined, in which doctors found only one virus to be active. However, the active virus also appeared to be genetically inactive. This also meant that the genetics of both AIDS patient...

Darkness will be the enemy of Chandrayaan! How the lander and rover on the moon will work at night, this time is the most challenging

Image
One day on the Moon is equal to 14 days on Earth. In this regard, rover Pragyan and lander Vikram, which reached the lunar surface by Chandrayaan 3 on August 23, have only a few days left. Although ISRO scientists have not ruled out the possibility of Pragyan and Vikram resuming operations, it has become important for the rover to acquire data quickly. Isro's important phase begins on the moon ISRO has said that Chandrayaan 3 is going to do three major tasks on the moon. It includes soft landing on the lunar surface, exploration of the lunar surface and some experiments on the surface. So far ISRO has been successful in the first two, but the experimental phase is still ongoing. Vikram and Pragyan carry the payload through which the data is being collected. An attempt to cover a distance of 300 to 400 meters on the moon SAC director Nilesh M Desai says that scientists are trying to cover the maximum distance to the South Pole. He said that in the remaining days, scientists are...

It entered lunar orbit on July 16. It was then decided to land at a place about 50 km southwest of the moon's scatter Sabin dish. The Ranger-2 and Surveyor-2 surveys conducted a comparative study of the area in which the area was found to be flat for landings compared to others. A portion of Apollo 11 was released from the Eagle Command module Scholambias. Neil sent a message to the control center in Houston that they were safe, albeit a short distance from the target. The spacecraft landed northeast of the 50-meter-diameter Swift Cretaceous with 6 seconds of fuel remaining. After the first commander Neil Armstrong landed, ...

YouTube desktop version will turn off video addresses

Image
If you have been watching videos on YouTube regularly, you must have experienced that the ads appearing during the videos are a big hindrance. If we want to use YouTube service for free, we have to tolerate ads, but gradually, before the video starts, ads come and some ads can be skipped after a certain second, but some ads have to be watched in full, a trend has started. Even in long videos, these types of ads started to proliferate in between and finally. However, as all this was going down, the trend of ' overlay ' ads also started. As the name suggests these same type of ads started appearing at the top or bottom of the screen during the ongoing video. It is natural that creators who want to increase their earnings from YouTube welcome all kinds of ads, but for us as viewers, it started to become annoying. However, overlay ads in mobile apps have long been discontinued. After that, such overlay ads will be stopped on the YouTube website in the desktop as well. Its imp...

Knowing this, the first question that arises is that even if the child wants to grow up and become a doctor, should he be taught coding ? The answer is yes. Another question is that these days even ChatGPT also writes the code , then is there a need to learn coding ? The answer is yes. Because learning coding is not just for a career in IT. For example , when a cardiac surgeon is performing open heart surgery on someone, if a new defect is discovered in the patient's heart , they must be able to make immediate changes in their surgical procedures. All doctors learn to do this through experience and study , but a child who has understood the concept of coding at an early age can make decisions with more stability , more un...
