Social media has become one of the fastest and most powerful mediums for making videos go viral. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube allow users to share content instantly with millions of people across the world. While this rapid sharing helps in spreading information quickly, it also increases the risk of misinformation. Sensational or misleading videos often attract more attention, encouraging users to share them without verification. As a result, false claims can spread widely within a short time, creating confusion, panic, or misunderstanding among the public.
