About Us

Verify.net is an online service that verifies news spread through social media like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram etc. Our organization was formed to combat the intense spread of misinformation through these mainstream pages, thus reducing the issues caused due to these fake statements.

How it Works

Users can enter their doubts or the facts they recieved in their social media accounts, upon which our staff will sweep through the database to match this to a previous entry or create a new one. We will then forward this information to an expert in the field of enquiry and get their opinion, which will be sent to the email you used to create your account in Verify.net. The enquiry will also be made public if more than 40% of that day's user enquires were similar to one you sent us.

Rs.2000 will not be Banned

Rumours were abuzz that the Rs 2,000 note would be banned, and that Rs 1,000 denomination notes would be reissued. "After December 31, 2019 you cannot change your Rs 2,000 notes," a viral WhatsApp post read. That, however, is completely untrue, as the Press Information Bureau (PIB) clarified later.

WhatsApp has been criticised for its inability to keep a check on the circulation of fake news on its platform.

These messages were in fact triggered after WhatsApp suffered downtime on the night of July 3.

Wrong Section

After the rape and murder of a veterinary doctor in Hyderabad sparked outrage across India, messages on WhatsApp began doing the rounds saying the Modi government has passed a new law— Section 233 of Indian Penal Code— to tackle crimes against women. That, however, was fake, since the government hadn't done anything of the sort and Section 233 already exists, but it pertains to punishment for counterfeit coins.
