Today’s world faces a paradox: on the one hand thedevelopment of technology allows greater access, verification and disclosure of information, essential in a democracy; and on the other hand,there is a proliferation of fake news, an effort to capture public opinionprimarily for political and economic purposes.This paper refers to the impact of disinformation on society and theconflict of rights it creates. Concern about the negative consequences itproduces are explored, as well as the responses that have been given atinternational, regional and individual levels by some States.
