WE STILL HAVE TO FLATTEN THE CURVE OF THE INFODEMIC AND THE POST TRUTH

Jesús Salgado

The lockdowns and restrictions of the pandemic have accelerated the digital transformation in our societies. This transformation promises multiple benefits and many of them are materializing, and it also brings with it some risks that must be prevented. One of the areas where digitization has been enhanced is that of the public information space, both formal and informal. In this space, a parallel phenomenon to that of the spread of the pandemic, the so-called “infodemic”, may cloud the benefits of digitization. We must act at various levels as a society, as organizations, communities and individuals to stop its spread and promote a more open, plural, rational and humane “infosphere”.
