The internet never sleeps, and neither does misinformation. This week, reports claimed that India plans to force smartphone manufacturers to share their source code as part of a national security overhaul. The PIB Fact Check team quickly stepped in to call it what it is: false. Here is the reality: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) is conducting routine stakeholder consultations to shape a framework for mobile security. This process happens regularly in policy development. No mandates. No new regulations. No intrusion into proprietary technology. What this episode reveals is not a regulatory crisis but a trust crisis. When headlines outpace facts, credibility suffers for both media and institutions. In the age of AI-generated news and viral misinformation, verification is no longer optional. It is a civic responsibility.

Obsessing over distribution is good, but it doesn’t help with when your product has high churn. Churn will always outpace the distribution and hence the growth. Building a good product is still number one priority.
