Abstract(s)
A disseminação de fake news tem atingido diferentes camadas da sociedade e encontrou nas
redes sociais um potencializador. Essa realidade foi verificada na pandemia causada pelo
vírus da Covid-19. O aparecimento do vírus provocou um aumento no número de
informações falsas no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram e Whatsapp. A maioria dos países
puderam sentir a interferência dessas falsas informações nos seus programas de controle da
doença e do vírus.
Em países como o Brasil, governos populistas e negacionistas aproveitaram para atuar
diretamente em grupos de apoio, tornando ainda mais difícil o controle da pandemia em
algumas regiões. Governos desse tipo apostam desde o início na desinformação e na
minimização da doença, via notícias falsas ou duvidosas. Ao mesmo tempo, surgem
instrumentos verificadores que desmentem essas informações, como as agências de factchecking.
Diante desse quadro, esta pesquisa procura mostrar, como essas notícias falsas são
controladas ou desmentidas nesses dois países. Para isso, tomaram-se a agência de factchecking, Lupa (Brasil) e o Jornal Polígrafo (Portugal). A intenção era mostrar de que forma
esses dois canais minimizaram os estragos da disseminação das informações distorcidas.
The dissemination of fake news has different levels of society and found in social networks a great potentializer. This phenomenon was seen in the Covid-19 virus pandemic. The appearance of the virus caused an increase in the number of false information on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Whatsapp. Most countries could feel an interference of this false information in their programs to control the disease and the virus. In countries like Brazil, populist and denial governments took the opportunity to work directly with support groups, making it even more difficult to control the pandemic in some regions. Governments of this type have bet from the beginning on misinformation and on minimizing the disease, via false or doubtful news. At the same time, there are verifier instruments that disprove this information, such as fact-checking agencies. This research seeks to show, somehow, how these false news are being controlled or denied in these two countries. For this, the fact-checking agencies, Lupa (Brazil) and Poligrafo (Portugal), were taken on. The intention was to show how these two agencies tried, in some way, to minimize the damage caused by the dissemination of false information.
