Abstract
This article reviews and advances existing literature
concerning the role of digital media platforms in the
production and consumption of factually dubious content. Using
data from BBC World Service, European Commission, Freedom
House, GlobeScan, Pew Research Center, Socialbakers, and
Statista, were performed analyses and were made estimates
regarding real versus fake news content type distribution on
Facebook and prevalence of manipulation tactics on social media
in 68 countries.
