Fariyal Mir

Digital Medium

Digital world has changed the world. It has brought the masses into one closet. This medium has dispatched information so efficiently. Digital purposes to connect everything in one. It facilitates all cybercitizens. There is various form of this medium that has made it more powerful and engaging. And has taken all of our data. At the same time, it has fascinated and influenced us. It can retrieve any data even the removed one from its platform. Precisely, it has made the world a more worthy place to live with lots of information. The digital platform highly contributes to academia, social networking, and professional networking, transferring of data, mining of knowledge and data, and many other fields. However, its’ worth depends upon the user.

What is Digital Falsehood?

Digital falsehood is the act of deception through digital means. Digital means can never lie but it’s you and I who used it negatively. Deception is in the nature of humans not digital. Digital is a non-living entity but human is living. Digital is emotionless but human is full of emotions. It is considered to be senseless yet cares more about your privacy than your flock. The nonliving sense is the act of deception and informs you on time. But you and I overpower it and persuade it for the deception. The level of falsehood varies from one another. It can be with the help of fake Id generation by betraying the digital. Hacking is another form of digital falsehood. Such acts of falsehood lead to crimes that are termed cybercrimes.

Reason and outcomes of Digital Falsehood

Digital falsehood can have many reasons but here I am mentioning some of them. It is used to betray someone. And the level of betrayal can be different. So far it can be to threaten someone or to misuse. The envious nature of a man leads him/her to steal information illegally so he used the digital mean. It is also used to defame reputation individually or collectively. Digital deception is also used to steal data and to use them for its purposes.

Therefore, digital media sometimes lose its worth. And it becomes unreliable. For instance, digital falsehood is a threat to E-commerce. And it has disadvantaged digital marketing. It has snatched the trustworthiness and reliability. Moreover, digital deception has turned it into a digital media war. As todays’ the world is attaching each other digitally.

Action to be taken                     

This digital falsehood cannot be control other than strict law implementation. Because it cannot be dealt with like other crimes. Law implementation is the only formula to lessen digital falsehood. Otherwise, it can fire the whole world, and then there would not be any pathway to back it. Because it is something intentionally and by professional people. If this would be the level of professionalism then what would happen to marginalized margins of the society.
