About
Social Media Hoax Slayer
In last few years, the Social Media having a wider reach and faster, started polluting human minds by anti-social elements, wrong doers, pranksters etc. Several lies are so sugar coated that one never even attempts to use the sixth sense “Common Sense” and ultimately gets affected. Our country may get different leaders/Prime Ministers but till the people can’t have unbiased, logical mind, getting rid of the tag “Third World Country” is a far cry.
So this “Social Media Hoax Slayer” is a humble attempt to keep such wrongs out of human mind.
Goal
To achieve cleaner, logical, unbiased Indian minds free of religious and political extremism. These are the things which have prisoned the capabilities of citizens to be a good citizen and contribute to society. Getting them out of shackles is a tough nut to crack but will keep trying. I believe and many also claimed my attempt is a contribution towards country.

Origin
Since the beginning of 2015, when I got active on WhatsApp I noticed various lies, pranks, rumors forwarded. They were quite obvious lies but nobody bothered to think. It disgusted me, I started combating those with proofs and reasoning, succeeded too among my friends and relatives as they either stopped forwarding or forwarded to me for check. But then I thought this disease (CSDS – Common Sense Deficiency Syndrome) has spread country wide and need to be cured and stop it for spreading further. The curator needed a name so came SM Hoax Slayer. This Brand “SMHoaxSlayer” started in August 2015, on Facebook page and gradually started expanding. I guess It won’t be an exaggeration if I call this attempt as the largest, oldest and fastest in the country.
Broad Categories
It has a huge spectrum of genres. Religion, Politics, Scams, misuse of emotions/patriotism, devotion etc. Rumors based on religions are basically meant to entire riots, communal violence. Scams are disguised as some sweet schemes/offers/discounts. Political rumors are meant to make people believe in some well managed lies, twisted facts.
