Abstract
The role of digital media in disseminating information has attained a prominent position in society. Though social media and other platforms promise a democratic space, in reality, it has been an easy ground for powerful entities with resources to sow the seeds of propaganda with the help of manipulated information. The dominance of incorrect information in the form of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news is evident. This chapter analyses the scenario of the UK and the USA in brief, with a primary focus on India, which has been the nucleus of the informational crisis, palpable during elections, COVID-19, and in general. Further, the paper attempts to identify the factors that flare up the menace of misinformation, disinformation and fake news on social media. Finally, it delves into the scope of its regulation and attempts to produce possible effective countermeasures to tackle incorrect information on social media.
