Fake news, regulation, digital law, healthAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a socio-legal approach, mainly based on social systems theory, to the problem of mass disinformation through digital networks and platforms. To this end, the paper analyses fake news as a phenomenon emerging from a structural transformation in the means of communication dissemination, and then focuses on the case of Brazilian regulation on the subject. The guiding hypothesis of the research is that it is possible to identify a package of regulatory learning strategies by the legal system. The text specifically addresses the case of fake news on the subject of health. It notes that, in this field of medical fake news, there is a lack of proposals capable of combining forms of prevention and not only repression of damage.
