The article discusses the growing concern over the spread of misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms during India’s elections. It highlights the case of a controversial poster from a Singapore-based disinformation operation that falsely claimed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had won a majority in the state of Karnataka. The incident underscores the challenges faced by social media companies in combating coordinated disinformation campaigns aimed at influencing elections. The article explores how political parties and actors are leveraging social media to spread misleading content, often through opaque networks and tactics that exploit the platforms’ vulnerabilities. It also examines the efforts by tech giants like Meta and Twitter to address the issue, including the deployment of fact-checking teams and the removal of coordinated inauthentic behavior.
