The answer should be to educate the people. Judging the progress in the ML research, it is a lost battle trying to "protect" people from propaganda/misinformation. And i don't trust the indian authorities to do it right seeing how opaque the whole system is.

Goodluck trying to educate 500 million. The government can force people to learn stuff(like China) but that doesn't work due to fear of losing elections.

The most wealthiest and developed country in the world, the USA, could not educate its own citizens enough.

And you think a country of half a billion gullible folk need to be educated.

Do you know how much time that will take, and if at all it will be successful?

US politics and the Trump machine have shown that no matter how much you educate people, a small group of people, often available to the highest bidder, will be able to influence millions of people.
