Sulla stessa linea è di recente uscito "Fake You – An Activist’s Guide to Defeating Disinformation" di Simona Levi et al. https://xnet-x.net/en/fakeyou-disinformation-free-download/
Conferences about disinformation are mainstream. They are appealing, and institutions love them. They all seem to follow the same formula: a star speaker, boasting a fashionable biography (that omits the financial or client-affective ties to a political party) rattles off a list of stereotypical evils of technology, leading to a conclusion that could be summarised like this: “Given the very new danger of disinformation and fake news brought by the Internet and Artificial Intelligence (Al), for your own sake, the solution is to create institutions that ensure that internet and digital are not evil and - basically - ‘regulate’ freedom of expression in the digital era for the sake of the Truth.”
This false conclusion is the main reason for this book: fake news is used as an excuse to curtail civil rights.
