How false headlines and thumbnails on YouTube spread misinformation in Nepal

Saraswati Khadka, a 25-year-old Nepali living in Dubai, was recently taken in by a YouTube video claiming that the carcade of the president of Nepal had killed a person.

She believed the information until she discussed it with friends in Nepal and realised that it never happened and no national or local media covered it. It was just an example of the growing problem of misinformation in Nepal.
