Amid Payal Gaming And Justin D'Curz's Leaked MMS, All About 19-Minute Viral Vid, Is It Hoax Or Real?

With each day passing, we have been getting our hands on new cases of fake videos that are being used for a certain section of people's viewership and traction, keeping the victim's reputation at stake. We have found how Payal Gaming, one of the leading streamers of the Indian Gaming industry, found herself in the midst of controversy with a deepfake video of her going viral on social handles, which was falsely claimed to be her 'leaked MMS' from Dubai.

As soon as it proved to be a fake one, now, Splitsvilla's Justin D'Curz then found himself in the middle of controversy along with his lady love, Sakshi Shrivas, as one of their clips had been edited and posted on social media in such a tactful manner that it seemed to be a leaked MMS. The couple came forward and revealed the truth about the claimed 'MMS', which was nothing but a simple vlog.

What is the 19-minute viral video all about?

However, people were manipulated to think that it was something else with the captions and edits that were made, which were later exposed by Sakshi and Justin. Amid this, let's have a look at what the viral 19-minute video is all about, which has been hogging the trends for a while now, being viral for certain terms used in the clip like, 'Sir Sir, please'. But what does this video consist of? Let's have a reality check!

Is there any truth in the 19-minute 34-second viral video?

Since the last few days, a video under the label of '19-minute viral video' and hashtags like 'Sir Sir, please', have been going viral, not just in India, but reportedly in neighbouring countries as well. Such a clip garnered a lot of attention, sparking curiosity among netizens. Just after the video went viral, fact-checking websites declared it to be only a 'content-free viral trend fired up by algorithm manipulation and clickbaiting', meaning it's a hoax made for personal gain by creating panic and curiosity. Reportedly, in the video, a man was heard saying 'Sir Sir, please,' and, with this soundbite, people were left to think it was an obscene 19-minute video of students or some famous people.

As per the experts, such a hoax has been created with malicious intentions, and along with this, the use of clickbait like 19-minute 34-second, which would leave people to think it's authentic, while it's not, and usage of AI-generated photos and links, engagement of people who commented, such clips and hoaxes become famous on social media. Well, there's no truth to this. A digital literacy expert spoke about this to Zee News Digital, revealing how harmful it can be. Sharing more about such a hoax, the expert said:

"19-minute video is a quintessential representation of the symbiotic use of peoples' online curiosities. In cases of spotting a 'viral link' that claims to have pornographic material, it is imperative not to click on it. Through that simple link, you’re merely being used as a traffic source to dupe a scam or even being part of the cyberbullying of an individual, who may not even have any existence."
