Meta on Tuesday launched a new “Know What’s Real” campaign aiming to drive awareness about the importance of fighting misinformation. The company will try to use the campaign to educate about how to identify and address misinformation on WhatsApp and Instagram.
“Meta is committed to fighting misinformation online. We have invested in industry leading programs like setting up a robust network of independent fact-checkers that work to debunk false claims and help citizens access reliable information, including collaborating with MCA to launch a WhatsApp tipline to curb AI-generated misinformation.
