Abstract

Disinformation nowadays has reached enormous proportions. The increasing use of social media, which is an important source of information in people's daily lives, has contributed to the growth of this phenomenon. In the aftermath of important elections, it has become clear that through widespread campaigns of disinformation and fake news there can be an impact on citizens. States in this wake have tried with their own initiatives to address the phenomenon and to limit the major social media platforms, sometimes more strictly and sometimes more moderately. At the same time, the European Union has undertaken a series of initiatives to tackle disinformation, while evaluating past initiatives that have not proved effective in the long term. In addition, there is concern when suspicious content of false news is removed with the counter-argument of infringing freedom of speech. Indeed, there is this fine line that is explored in depth in this Thesis. Finally, fact checkers have been called upon to play an important role in combating this phenomenon. In this thesis an analysis of the phenomenon of disinformation and its manifestations is carried out. A detailed reference is made to legislative initiatives of states aimed at addressing the phenomenon, the protection of users and the delimitation of platforms. Reference is made both to efforts to self-regulate the platforms themselves and to important court decisions on the fine line between removing suspicious content and defending fundamental rights. In addition, the European effort against this phenomenon is discussed in detail, and an entire chapter is devoted to the role that fact-checkers are called upon to play.
