The police have adopted a proactive approach to combat the spread of fake news and hate speech on social media, understanding the role they play in exacerbating societal tensions. Special units have been set up to monitor online platforms for inflammatory content, misinformation, and harmful rhetoric. These units work closely with tech companies to quickly identify and remove fake news and hate speech, reducing their potential to incite violence.
In addition to online monitoring, the police have launched awareness campaigns to educate the public about the dangers of misinformation and the importance of verifying information before sharing. Partnerships with community leaders and organizations help amplify this message, encouraging individuals to act responsibly in digital spaces and report harmful content.
