Negative about India. I have been receiving quite a bit of attention after posting India specific comments. And look how quickly it is dropping out from front page. Concerted effort.
If anything, I wish it was more "negative" about India; instead of talking about why people take part in lynchings and why they are so common in the country, the blame goes to WhatsApp, which "has been getting Indians killed". It's as if the actual killers had no agency.
Same thing about the anti-vaccination groups in Brazil: as a Brazilian citizen my concern is that those groups exist at all and are affecting public health, not what app they happen to use.
Rumour mongering/ scare stories has been an issue in rural villages world wide for far longer than the internet let alone Whatsapp.
In Africa it usually ends in the mob killing a supposed witch doctor. I suspect the same issues would happen in small town America if the police weren't as efficient.
Obviously an article about how technology doesn't automatically end superstition and ignorance is boring. Facebook/ Whatsapp is the new bogyman and Buzzfeed was never one to worry overly about facts.
