PROVENANCE: Citizen empowerment through technology to make informed decisions in the fight against disinformation
Main Article Content
Abstract
People's exposure to infoxication (Renjith, 2017), the creation of information bubbles (Pariser, 2017) and the infosaturation (Dias, 2014) generated through the formation of echo chambers, play a fundamental role in the creation and dissemination of misinformation.
The main objective of this research is to understand the elements that shape decision-making for the establishment of these filters with the purpose of developing a tool that breaks the chains of misinformation: the [xxx] plug-in.
In this research, a qualitative methodology developed in two stages has been used. The first one, in which a conceptual analysis was carried out, consisted of a theoretical review and two group interviews. In the second one, 10 individual interviews were conducted to assess the [xxx] plug-in.
In the analysis, it can be observed how these filters act in the path of disinformation and how the audience tries to break these bubbles with actions, depending on the type of information consulted and the emotional filter.
The plug-in [xxx] offers an early warning mode based on the data provided by the algorithms and without making value judgments on the information. In addition, its regular use provides gets to be formative.
