Meta partners with PTI to expand its fact checking programme in India

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has partnered with the Press Trust of India (PTI) to combat misinformation in India. PTI will contribute to the fact-checking efforts, helping to identify and rate content across Meta's platforms. With this partnership, India becomes the country with the most third-party fact-checking partners for Meta, totaling 12. The company aims to build a global network of nearly 100 fact-checking partners to tackle viral misinformation in over 60 languages. Additionally, Meta is taking measures to ensure the integrity of its platforms ahead of the Indian general elections, including transparency around AI-generated content and the activation of an Elections Operations Center.
