Where there are numerous benefits of social media, it also has several demerits as well. One and the most disgusting thing social media brings up is the cooked up baseless stories. Today, two fake stories hit Pakistani social media, about Afridi’s daughter and Darren Sammy’s honorary citizenship,both of them left the Pakistani people clueless.
The most lethal thing coming out of this is that some innocent- citizens aren’t able to differentiate whether it is a true story or a fake alert.
They just went on spreading all this thinking that they are favoring the users, but it isn’t so.
Here are the two fake stories, which have spread the shock-wave nationwide.
