Abstract

During the last few decades, the transmission of rumors has become a serious threat to our informational ecosystems. In general, the spread of false rumors is capable of deceiving and misguiding epistemic agents. This deception can engender social unrest. Researchers from different branches of knowledge have responded to this crisis and conducted extensive research on rumors. In line with existing scholarship, this paper examines the philosophical aspects of rumor transmission in Bangladesh. In order to do so, this paper utilizes the insights of classical and contemporary philosophy to understand the dynamics of rumors in Bangladesh. In doing so, this paper includes case studies from Bangladesh to examine the theories in practical contexts and reveal the cultural and technological dimensions that shape the transmission of rumors. Based on the theoretical analysis and case studies, this paper offers recommendations to mitigate the harmful impact of rumors in Bangladesh and similar societies.
