Las fake news y su influencia en las elecciones presidenciales de 2021.

Abstract

This research qualitatively and quantitatively analyzes the influence of fake news on the presidential candidates Guillermo Lasso and Andrés Arauz during the 2021 presidential runoff. This analysis contemplates data that evidences the fulfillment of the hypothesis raised at the beginning of this investigation. For other hand, it covers all the edges that contemporary digitalization includes, taking into account the evolution of communication, social networks, social polarization, digital literacy, and truth as a combat instrument. Also, it reflects the oppositions of social interaction against false content and how this becomes a focus of distorted debate without the previous powers of identification of arbitrary information to generate political smear. Finally, it is possible to argue all the false news under and alternate all the observations to determine if the objectives initially set are met and to what extent they can be improved through the communicative-state dichotomous recommendation.
