[Air-L] WhatsApp methodologies and platform frameworks

[Hernán Manríquez]

Thanks for the resources, Enilda. I've been interested in a study on
Whatsapp and the propagation of fake news through that platform but due to
encryption and privacy matters it's practically impossible to measure it
directly. Something that can be useful to Padmini: since the last few
weeks, Whatsapp implemented a small message that warns of forwarded
messages. You can potentially use that in questionnaries.
