| Summary: |
The results of the presidential election in the United States or the vote in the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (Brexit) have raised questions about the influence of the fake news originated in web pages created to the effect and quickly disseminated through the social media. As people turn to social networks as a primary news source, the Member States’ governments and the EU have requested the collaboration of technology companies to filter out these harmful contents that are threatening to cause misinformation of citizens. In our analysis we reflect on the problems arising from the control of Internet content and, more specifically, what should the legitimate response to disinformation be, what the risks are derived from the imposition of filtering and labelling of information, the possibility of creating a system of private censorship that jeopardizes the pluralism of the network, or the danger of arbitrariness in the construction of the filtering algorithm and its effectiveness in the exercise of freedom of expression in various contexts (such as irony or humour), among other issues. |
