Abstract

Disinformation is a growing phenomenon that affects contemporary societies, creates polarization, and poses a serious risk to democratic institutions. A strong media, information, and digital literacy among citizens, developed from an early age, is essential to address this problem. In this text, we present the ten objectives outlined in Stop Disinformation. A didactic guide to learn to verify, to understand disinformation and learn to combat it.
