The Problem here is you can't Find the creator of the massage ( Any Fake News ) they are always growing As Chain Massages. People Are Blindly Forwards Any WhatsApp Massages Without Knowing its reliability and that is the biggest problem Fighting Against Fake News.
Recently Whatsapp announced some Features to restrict Fake News. Whatsapp announced that in a Whatsapp Group Admins can take decision that who can share or Forward Group Massages. It was helpful for sure but it can't stop sapm massages because,
1. If Group Admins Allow their Members to share or Forward Group Massages. It is very Common and I think it is the default settings of WhatsApp. So Rule was Good but Not Good enough to Block Fake News.
2. The second scenario, if Group Admins Share / Forward Fake News then What can You do?. Yes WhatsApp Give this power To the Group Administrators so eventually they can share Fake news/Chain Massages.
Now WhatsApp taking another decision to Fight Against Fake News/ Spam . WhatsApp is Deploying a Link Detecting System ( also called Suspicious Link Detection System) that Analyze Links On WhatsApp and set a report on it.
