Fake news

The expression "fake news" may be the most repeated expression in the media in recent times. Today more than ever it is virtually impossible to differentiate truths from lies. The use of fake news in politics, as we see in various countries, has devastating effects on society.

The most damaging consequence is the creation of an uninformed public. In that situation, people tend to shut themselves away in bubbles which are disconnected from reality. They only want to hear opinions that correlate with their own ideas in order to reassert/reaffirm them. Reading the same newspapers, following users with similar ideas on Twitter and blocking those who refute them... It's like looking at yourself in the mirror the entire day. Hence, the other becomes nullified. There's no room for discussions as no common ground exists between the two parties. Brazil is the paradigm of all the aforesaid, a country ruled by the far-right in which talking about politics has now become an extreme sport.

Governments, in cooperation with social media companies, must work in an effort to limit the dissemination of fake news. On that basis, it would be ideal to implement new school subjects that foster critical thinking on children, such as "Parliamentary Debate".
