Descrição
Resumo:The profusion of misinformation on the web currently occurs with the use of increasing refinement and the use of technological and linguistic resources and methods capable of amplifying its reach. The present work sought to understand, from a literature review, strategies, methods and form of content organization in contemporary disinformation campaigns to propose a model for understanding and analyzing these campaigns. Researches were carried out in several databases that resulted in the identification of 18 works that discuss the dynamics of misinformation – constitutive elements prior to the phenomenon's manifestation. The content of this review was organized in its own typology that allowed the conception of three basic components of contemporary disinformation campaigns: strategy, method and content. The work describes and discusses these components, whose understanding contributes to the analysis of misinformation and the development of dissuasive, mitigating or corrective tools. The work showed that campaigns occur with a high degree of professionalism, planning and financing, in such a way that simple solutions for dealing with misinformation tend to be ineffective. Literacy actions and the development of information skills need to be accompanied by other initiatives by governments and information technology companies.
