Present as Chief Guest on the occasion, Ranchi Lok Sabha MP Shri Sanjay Seth addressing concerns about cybercrime in Jharkhand, emphasized the need to change the perception of the state as a hub for such activities. Shri Seth highlighted Jamtara’s status as one of the most affected areas globally, acknowledging the gravity of the situation in Jharkhand. Additionally, he stressed the importance of preventing misinformation and deepfake occurrences, advocating for safer cyberspace through awareness and verification of information authenticity.

Founder and Global President of CyberPeace Major Vineet Kumar in his address to the media, expressed gratitude to MP Shri Sanjay Seth for attending the event and emphasized the importance of tackling cybercrime in Jharkhand. He acknowledged the challenges faced by the state, particularly in Jamtara, and highlighted the need to provide opportunities for youth to channel their skills positively.

Major Vineet also addressed the issue of misinformation and deepfakes, advocating for a proactive approach to cybersecurity. He emphasized the importance of verifying information before sharing it, especially in the era of AI-generated content. Additionally, Major Vineet raised awareness about the impact of excessive screen time on digital health, urging individuals to use the internet in a balanced and beneficial manner.

With the abundance of information present at the click of our fingers, the spread of misinformation is rampant. With the goal to combine the spirit of community engagement, CyberPeace is on a mission to promote “Technology for good” beyond borders.

Keeping this in mind, CyberPeaces aim behind this Cyber revolution is to work on making people realise the dangers of misinformation and helping them understand the importance of fact checks before sharing anything online.
