Disinformation, fake news, post-covid society, epistemological confusionAbstract
Through the dissemination of informative elements (i.e., any item created and disseminated with the purpose of conveying information) in the digital society, disinformation modifies 1) the social and political ideology of users of social networks and other digital tools, as well as their worldview and overall ideas about reality; 2) the ethical behaviour of the subject in the world, which includes violent, terrorist, and stochastic terrorist acts; and 3) the conditions of veracity that are granted to a fact in order to label it as truthful, which results in the phenomenon of epistemological confusion, whereby veracity is granted to a fact just by wishing it to be true, instead of appealing to voices having recognized authority.
