User talk:Divyam Seth: Difference between revisions

Here you can communicate with me and I will be happy to provide my feed back as early as possible. Thanks Divyam Seth

Hello. I noticed that you reverted two AFD closures earlier, including my own closure at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Newstrend. I'm not sure if this was in error, especially as the other revert was an AFD you started, but please don't do this, as completed AFD discussions should not be edited and this doesn't change the result. Thanks. KaisaL (talk) 09:57, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seen your views on North east Delhi riots, you may consider adding latest updates on Tahir Hussain's step brother being involved in riots at Chand Bagh ^[1]

Further, Tahir Hussain also deserves detailing on the riot material found at his house before arrest ^[2]

3 people firing from Tahir's house ^[3]

For some reason I have a sanction on adding any content on even the talk page. You maybe able to post.

Hey @Divyam_Seth. I can provide you with many instances on how it has spread fake news. A lot of times they delete the article but still there are many sources:

Please note that the links which start from /2018 or /2019 without any domain are from OpIndia [dot] com which are in Wikipedia's blacklist so I can't input them.

- In Feb of 2018, OpIndia posted this article /2018/02/bollywood-actor-and-serial-abuser-was-invited-as-chief-guest-for-an-event-by-mumbai-police/ Bollywood actor and serial abuser was invited as chief guest for an event by Mumbai Police? - which was later dismissed by Mumbai Police on Twitter https://twitter.com/MumbaiPolice/status/969089243296432129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

- On 4th of March, OpIndia shared a clipped video to claim Harsh Mander instigated violence in Jamia speech: /2020/03/harsh-mander-secularism-ayodhya-supreme-court-caa-nrc-mob-violence-viral-video/ - which was later fact-checked by AltNews here: https://www.altnews.in/clipped-video-shared-to-claim-harsh-mander-instigated-violence-in-jamia-speech/

- Several people from OpIndia took to Twitter so say villain of a Hindi movie was changed from Muslim to Hindu, which was false. The fact-check contains archived links to their deleted tweets: https://www.altnews.in/how-twitterati-followed-by-pm-modi-spread-misinformation-about-deepika-padukones-chhapaak/

- In Feb, OpIndia reported that Shaheen Bag got emptied after AAP won Delhi elections: /2020/02/shaheen-bagh-protest-site-empty-aap-delhi-elections/ - which later turned out to be false: https://www.altnews.in/misleading-reports-claim-shaheen-bagh-empty-post-aap-win-in-delhi-election/

- NewsLaundry did a detailed report on how OpIndia shares false news repeatedly and not only that it shares false news, it's false news against one particular religion: https://www.newslaundry.com/2020/01/03/fake-news-lies-muslim-bashing-and-ravish-kumar-inside-opindias-harrowing-world

- In November, they shared a claim of a photoshopped Tweet which they later deleted but it is on internet archive: https://archive.is/5ZtmQ

- In August of 2019, they shared a report of a local party flag in Kerala as flag of Pakistan being waved in hateful report: /2019/08/kerala-pakistani-flag-waved-at-student-union-election-campaign-police-book-25-persons-in-kozhikode/

- In June, they reported another false claim: /2019/06/bihar-muslims-enter-tribal-land-to-offer-namaz-on-eid-tribals-attack-them-fearing-land-grabbing-attempt/ - fact-checked here: https://www.altnews.in/fact-check-kishanganj-violence-between-tribals-and-muslims-on-eid/

- Another report of them false saying Indian Muslims celebrated Pakistan's victory: https://www.altnews.in/multiple-fake-videos-circulated-social-media-claiming-indian-muslims-celebrated-pakistans-victory/

- Another instance: https://www.thequint.com/videos/news-videos/sri-sri-ravishankar-yamuna-floodplains

- And my favorite when they reported a person who opened fire on protestor as someone firing for being afraid of the mob: http://www.therationaldaily.com/fact-check/opindia-spreads-fake-news-terms-caa-protesters-in-jmi-as-islamist-mob/

- And a long list of more similar references on OpIndia's Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpIndia#cite_ref-Right_wing_1-0

And these are some that I could find within my limited time, I've seen 40-50 similar claims made by them, which they sometimes delete.
