Spread of Rumours on Social Media
                 Social media platforms are open to all, with little to no regulation or self-checking mechanisms in place.
                 While they provide a quick and convenient way to access information, they are also vulnerable to misuse by
                 individuals with hidden agendas.
                 In recent times, social media has increasingly been blamed for contributing to social unrest. Rumours spread
                 rapidly, and by the time their authenticity is verified, significant damage may already have been done to the
                 social fabric. False information can create divisions along communal lines, with certain groups exploiting
                 these situations for political gain. The spread of rumours on social media can have devastating consequences,
                 including depression, hostility, enmity, and even large-scale conflicts or riots.
