Freedom of expression is a fundamental right consubstantial to a democratic State. In addition to being an essential facet of human dignity, it also constitutes a basic institutional support for any political-legal system. And it is that only through the free dissemination of information and opinion can a public opinion be formed about the problems that afflict our society and the way in which the public authorities act. The first problem that this paper deals with is that new technologies have led to a flood of communications, frequently lacking in rigor of information, giving rise to the so-called disinformation. Although not a new phenomenon, it must be acknowledged that its incredibly increase through the possibilities of diffusion offered by the new channels of communication. The public authorities, and the communication supports themselves, are taking oversight measures with a view to restrict these messages. And this brings up the second question that we deal with in this paper: the restriction of freedom of expression used as an excuse to reduce the damaging effects that disinformation might produce. We will try to reflect on how to reconcile freedom of expression with the limitations and control mechanisms of this fundamental right to fight against dissemination of untruthfulness.

Además de ser una faceta esencial de la dignidad humana, constituye igualmente un soporte institucional básico de todo sistema jurídico-político. Y es que sólo a través de la libre difusión de informaciones y opiniones puede formarse una opinión pública acerca de los problemas que aquejan a la sociedad y del modo de proceder de los poderes públicos. El primer problema del que trata el presente trabajo reside en que las nuevas tecnologías han propiciado un aluvión de comunicaciones, frecuentemente faltas de rigor informativo, dando lugar a la denominada desinformación. Aunque no se trata de un fenómeno nuevo, hay que reconocer su vertiginoso aumento a través de las posibilidades de difusión que brindan los nuevos canales de comunicación. Los poderes públicos, y los propios soportes comunicativos, están adoptando medidas de supervisión con vistas a restringir tales mensajes. Y aquí se encuentra el segundo problema del que nos ocupamos en este artículo: el de la limitación de la libertad de expresión con la excusa de reducir los efectos nocivos que pudiera conllevar la desinformación. Trataremos de reflexionar acerca de cómo conciliar la libertad de expresión con las limitaciones y mecanismos de control de este derecho fundamental para combatir los mensajes faltos de veracidad.2022text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8736895(Revista) ISSN 1390-7794(Revista) ISSN 1390-440XIus Humani: Revista de Derecho, ISSN 1390-440X, Vol. 11, Nº. 2, 2022 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Ius Humani Journal), pags. 97-135spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
