Fighting back against fake news – how does it interfere in democratic
processes, particulary elections? Since summer 2016, “fake news” has denoted
the deliberate, viral spreading of false information on the internet and
social media with the intention, for example, of discrediting a political
party, tarnishing someone’s reputation or casting doubt on scientific truth.
This practice, which hinders citizens in making informed decisions, has become
very widespread. Its impact is especially significant not only because of how
quickly fake news spreads, but also because identifying the authors of such
campaigns and digital material is very difficult. This report attempts to
provide responses to issues raised by this phenomenon, in particular during
electoral campaigns, and offer proposals to shape a legal framework at
European level.
