WhatsApp er "en petriskål" for misinformation om coronavirus

Moth­er Jones:
"With more than 2 bil­lion users, the plat­form has reg­u­lar­ly been a con­duit for fake news and mis­in­for­ma­tion. In India, fab­ri­cat­ed videos of  child kid­nap­ping gangs on What­sApp have led to lynch­ings of inno­cent peo­ple. In Brazil, the rapid spread of mis­in­for­ma­tion threat­ened the fair­ness of the 2019 pres­i­den­tial elec­tion. And amid the coro­n­avirus pan­dem­ic, What­sApp has become  con­duit for fake cures and con­spir­a­cy the­o­ries about coro­n­avirus. "
