He spoke about the dangers of fake news and the alarming rate at which they can spread. He spoke of “deep fakes” and the growing impossibility of telling real from fake.Dr Moiz Mannan Haque, Head of the Department said that “Although it may be impossible to stop fake news, it was possible for people to stop responding to such malafide falsehoods.
