We are said to live in the post-truth age, when «objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief»[1]. The communicative paradigm has changed: Internet and mass information channels enable fake news to travel – instantaneously – through the web, impregnating our collective thinking and public debate. As it turns out, the disinformation generated by fake news may vitiate the process of public opinion formation and hence, the legitimation mechanisms of democratic institutions. The scale of the phenomenon has raised concerns among public authorities worldwide and we are starting to see the first regulatory proposals to face what has become one of the major legal challenges of our time. This article aims to paint – full colour – the mosaic of ‘information disorders’[2] and emerging possibilities for action.
