In the last few years, the Social Media having a wider reach and faster, started polluting human minds by anti-social elements, wrong doers, pranksters etc.
Several lies are so sugar coated that one never even attempts to use the sixth sense “Common Sense” and ultimately gets affected. Our country may get different leaders/Prime Ministers but until the people have an unbiased, logical mind, getting rid of the tag “Third World Country” seems a far cry. So this “Social Media Hoax Slayer” is a humble attempt to keep such wrongs out of the human mind. The goal is to achieve cleaner, logical, unbiased Indian minds free of religious and political extremism. These are the things which have prisoned the capabilities of citizens to be a good citizen and contribute to society.
IREX’s Learn to Discern approach builds resilience to manipulative information by empowering those who engage with media and information to navigate it in a safe, critical, responsible, healthy, and empathy-driven way.
