Abstract

The virtual universe is today rigorously central to social experience in various segments, something that certainly encompasses democracy. However, some problems already observed in the physical environment are transported to the digital universe, but as if they are amplified or at least quickly disseminated in the digital or virtual environment. One of these issues is the phenomenon of fake news. Inquiring, traversing, and seeking to answer what effects this phenomenon can have on democracy is the main objective of this study, developed in the hypothetical-deductive modality, taking the theoretical framework and the author's contributions as necessary subsidies for the generation of the conclusions presented herein.
