Abhinav,

Thanks for the comment. Your concern is duly noted, but as the video editing has already been done by the production team, we cannot do any changes now, even if we like to.

Whatsapp fake news is a real thing, and this video is not the first time, where it has been mentioned. It has been featured in many news channels and print media. Few examples are - * https://indianexpress.com/article/business/a-whatsapp-message-destroyed-firm... from Indian Express * https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-45140158 from BBC * http://time.com/5352516/india-whatsapp-fake-news/ from TIME

Even Whatsapp also admits that this is a problem and they have tried to counter it in different ways. For eg. - * https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/info-tech/whatsapp-kicks-off-radio-camp... from The HIndu * https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/whatsapp-says-working-with-reliance-jio-to-c... from NDTV * https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/software/whatsapp-to-train-users-o...

From India Times

Thanks, Bodhisattwa

Hi Bodhisattwa,

I saw these videos last evening, they are actually very nicely done.

I have a very minor concern which I have also posted under the comments section and reached out to you last evening.

In ‘What just happened’ video, can we drop ’whatsapp’ placed just ahead of fake news. If possible dubb it to online fake news or simply mute it.

I am not a lawyer and not sure on legal issues. Someone can better reflect on the matter of taking names of Internet organisation outside our movement.

When Hindi promotional video was made by WMF, The Hindi community members on the table made a common consensus on not taking names.

Again, it could be a very minor issue and may not hold much relevance.
