I'm sure Whatsapp has access to what encrypted message was sent by who, to whom.

Simple would be to crowdsource reporting a post as "incendiary or fake" in a group and it wont be visible to the rest of the users in the group. or hide the message and show only after informing the reader that the message may be fake, as reported by others in the group.

Twitter does a better job than facebook in this matter. And I thought FB was way ahead with all the buzzwords like AI, ML, Neural Networks. If FB cannot add this simple feature to Whatsapp, or something similar to this, not sure it'll manage to help the lynching situation in India and world over.
