Summary: The spread of fake news erodes democracy by creating disinformation that blocks debate. This article deals with the relationship between freedom of expression and the mass dissemination of fake news, assessing the risks to democracy, considering studies and current political trends. The inductive method and the bibliographic and documentary procedure are used. Democratic challenges require tackling the contradictory issues arising from hyperconnected societies that have transformed the way of life and the construction of political debates. The action of the Superior Electoral Court suggests is still far behind and demarcates the limits of legal action in this context.
