💨 Abstract

The Chief Election Commissioner of India, Rajiv Kumar, has urged social media platforms to combat "social media pollution" by adopting measures similar to the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) for air pollution. Kumar criticized social media companies for failing to block or label easily detectable fake news, leaving it to poll bodies to engage fact-checkers.
