English abstract

In Unfaking News, Raúl Magallón exposes the reality of fake news by studying the response to it as well as to misinformation, post-truth, alternative facts, echo chambers, information bubbles, clickbait or content farms. He also insists on upholding the connection between those concepts, for they are all influencing factors in diverse sectors, as political choices, political discourses, social behaviour, etcetera. Throughout this book, Raúl Magallón unveils a guideline for companies that try to under stand the big data, such as Facebook or Google, and how they are influencing, and maybe manipulating information. This book also approaches the fact that some platforms, such as WhatsApp, have become comfortable, almost as a safehouse, for fake news to reside and grow. This, obviously, influenced by the sort of information made available, which is exactly what the author proposes us to ponder upon.
