2. Assessing authentic information and
believing in reports, articles, blogs, etc.
published by credible sources is a crucial
aspect of information consumption and
perception. Rumours lead to
misconceptions, and these misconceptions
can degrade trust in credible sources and
platforms. When people don’t have access
to reliable sources, they may rely on rumors
like Kissht Crackdown. Social media and
digital platforms can amplify these rumours
due to their instantaneous nature and ease
of sharing information without verification.

3. 1. Lack of Clarity
A few years ago, during a routine enquiry
conducted through the regulatory bodies in
India, 232 Fintech apps were found guilty.
Kissht got a clean chit during the investigation
as the app was following all ethical measures
for business expansion. Although the Kissht
app sincerely follows all the regulations and
guidelines proposed by regulatory authorities,
due to a lack of understanding, an error
occurred and Kissht’s name was wrongly
interpreted in the list of faulty apps. So, Kissht
Crackdown was a misinterpretation of legal
actions and there was nothing to relate it with
any type of wrongdoing done by the app.

4. 2. Sensationalized Media
Reporting
However, the ban was revoked within a couple of
hours and the concerned officials realized their
mistake, and media outlets have sensationalized
the misinformation of Kissht Crackdown.
Different media reports, articles, etc. included
additional misinformation to make the story
more attractive so that it gets more attention and
viewership. They didn’t bother to gather all the
facts and tell the truth. Their only goal was to
make attention-grabbing headlines, spreading
rumors instead of real news. Consequently, the
misinformation regarding Kissht Banned spread
rapidly across the internet, fostering doubt and
confusion among the public.

5. 3. Spread of Unverified
Information
There have been instances where individuals
lack credible sources to verify a piece of
information. People have a tendency to
believe its authenticity and feel compelled to
inform others. Unfortunately, Kissht
Crackdown is also the result of people’s
tendency to unintentionally or unknowingly
propagate misinformation through various
channels. This behavior inadvertently
undermines the credibility of reliable
platforms like the Kissht app, despite
individuals’ genuine intentions to alert others.
