Facts and fictions

The booming fake content industry

Might be serving the immediate interests of the some

But will have long-term consequences,

Not only in terms of increasing distrust

For print and digital media – both

But also may have indelible marks

On unsuspecting minds.

The phenomenon will not be confined

To only political, social and economic arena

But may also engulf the scientific domain as well.

Fictions may replace the facts,

Not only in the virtual space

But in our minds, as well.
