Fighting Fake News Fights Hate

Avatar: Sabela Herranz Serrano Sabela Herranz Serrano

Fake news, which reaches people in hundreds of different ways: social networks, television, political campaigns ... are fake news that seek, among other things, to manipulate the population and / or go viral. To do this, they usually look for controversial content that incites hatred in addition to including technologies such as "deep fakes" that make them more credible. To combat them, it is necessary to invest in awareness-raising campaigns that could include media literacy courses and workshops, activities in schools and specific content in networks. It would also help to create a way of reporting and disclosing this fake content with the creation of an official EU anti-disinformation page and citizen engagement debates to improve legislation.
