Facebook, fake news e eleições: as interfaces da maior rede social utilizada no Brasil

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of fake news related to electoral processes, focusing on content disseminated through Facebook. It demonstrates how the internet has transformed the way social, political, and informational issues are addressed, significantly expanding spaces for public debate. Social media platforms—particularly Facebook—have evolved from mere entertainment environments into central arenas for discussion of matters of public interest. The methodological approach adopted is hypothetical–deductive, and the research technique employed is essentially bibliographical.
