Abstract

  As a result of the information explosion, a great amount of data has been created, including stuff that is deceptive, ethically problematic, tolerant, and hateful. The rapid and extensive circulation of false news, on the other hand, appears to show that many people either do not comprehend the concept of "fake news" or, if they do, share it nonetheless. False news has increased in Palestine in concert with the expansion of social media, maybe more than in other countries due to the ongoing Israeli occupation and the broader Arab-Israeli conflict. This research studied 147 news items from three important fact-checking websites—AP Fact Check, Reuters Fact Check, and AFP Fact Check—to detect trends in misinformation on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The results are going to help in understanding the influence of media coverage on peace initiatives and conflict settlement, and they have significant implications for the study of interpersonal disputes, past recollections, and political inaccuracies.

Abstract

A lot of people are concerned about DeepFakes in modern society. Despite its wide range of uses, DeepFakes has gotten little public recognition. The main goal of this research is to analyze DeepFakes and their originators, as well as their potential and risks. We analyzed 203 news articles from 16 media outlets in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan to achieve our goal. The extracted news had been categorized under threat, prevention and entertainment centric news. It has been revealed after analyzing DeepFake related news from the leading English daily of these countries that more than 50% news of Pakistani newspapers related to DeepFake was on the threat of this heinous technology. On the other hand, one third news of Indian and Bangladeshi newspapers was on this regard. The widespread broadcast of misleading information through media outlets might boost their legitimacy and reception for a short time but slowly and steadily smear their good name. This study also highlights the significant role media professionals have in spreading disinformation about the people and topics they cover.
