Social media serves as a powerful tool for real-time documentation, yet it also provides an easy avenue for the spread of misinformation and fake news. During Bangladesh's ongoing rebuilding efforts, researchers utilized citizen-generated digital content, such as photographs and videos, to uncover false narratives and disinformation circulated by global netizens, often with a communal twist. This phenomenon shapes public opinion, exemplifying the "Dynamo Effect" of misinformation propaganda. When we consume such content—following misleading YouTube channels or viral pages—without promptly blocking or reporting it, we inadvertently fuel this conspiracy.

Research highlights the urgent need for ethical standards in digital journalism to curb the spread of falsehoods, urging viewers to socially expose such content and calling for law enforcement to hold perpetrators accountable.
