Fake News Spread

Fake News Spread explores the complex world of misinformation and its profound effects on society. It examines how engineered falsehoods spread through social media and impact public opinion, ultimately threatening democratic institutions. The book delves into the psychological vulnerabilities that make individuals susceptible to believing fake news, such as confirmation bias, which leads people to favor information confirming existing beliefs. It also highlights the role of algorithms in creating filter bubbles and echo chambers, reinforcing pre-existing views and limiting exposure to diverse perspectives. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, integrating psychological, technological, and political insights. It traces the evolution of media consumption to the current fragmented online environment, explaining how the 24-hour news cycle contributes to the problem. Beginning with definitions of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, the book progresses to analyze psychological factors, the impact of social media algorithms, and the real-world consequences of fake news on elections, public health, and social cohesion.
