PHUKET: The number of formal complaints filed over fake news reports and posts on social media have increased dramatically over the past year, Atcharin Pattanaphanchai, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, said at an awareness event in Phuket yesterday (Sept 17).

 

“The trend of notifications from fake news whistleblowers compared to last year has increased by leaps and bounds, but after screening the reports, it was found the total [number of complaints] that met the criteria for investigation, and the proportion of fake news as a whole, has decreased,” said Ms Atcharin, who also serves as director of the Anti-Fake News Center.

 

While the number of fake news articles and posts screened each month rose from 1.6 million last year to 22mn this year, the number of articles needing further investigation had fallen by 8.65%, she said.
