The Indian government has directed all central ministries to establish Quick Response Teams (QRTs) to detect and counter fake content on social media platforms in real-time. The teams are mandated to issue an official response within two hours of identifying misleading information. The directive suggests using engaging formats like memes and short videos, particularly for platforms such as Instagram and YouTube, to ensure effective communication.
