Defining Fraud
In the Bharat Puls News ecosystem, fraud is defined as any deliberate act intended to mislead, manipulate, or exploit individuals through misinformation, impersonation, or misrepresentation—whether financially, psychologically, or socially.
Below are the key fraudulent practices strictly prohibited on our platform:
- Fabricated News: Any form of reporting lacking substantiated sources, evidence, or editorial review that incites confusion, panic, or false narratives within society.
- Deceptive Advertising: Promotions that mislead the public through partial truths or fictitious claims about a product, service, or scheme, thereby distorting consumer decisions.
- Unauthorized Use of Personal Data: Collection, processing, or transmission of personal information—such as names, phone numbers, or email addresses—without explicit user consent.
