Power has lied to us since the beginning of time. The methods and technologies used have differed, but lying is in power’s DNA. In the institutional agenda, disinformation is used to say that the problem is with us (as usual) but, in fact, it’s with them. We have had enough. This book shows how and why power has always created disinformation and how today’s fake news is just that same age-old lie and propaganda going by a different name. We provide rock-solid solutions: first, more democracy, and second, a brand new systemic labelling method. This book is the update of the Spanish version from 2019 [title translated ->] #FakeYou – Fake News and Disinformation – Governments, political parties, mass media, large corporations and fortunes: the monopolies of information manipulation and the threats to freedom of expression.
