What is a false news story? Who tends to use one? What is it for? Questions that will make you think twice about what you read out there. Fake news is better disguised than we imagine. In this workshop we will learn about the types of fake news that exist, surveillance on social media and its consequences in the world, the danger of antagonistic debates and the importance of dialogue, as well as six tips for staying free of disinformation. By Caroline Muniz and Luiz Teotônio
