RESUMENEl creciente miedo en las redes de internet péndula entre lo real o falso, el creer o no, lo dimensionado o eximido. Estamos experimentando una paranoia virtual en donde asumimos los extremos por no comprender lo que recibimos. Este es el caos ocasionado por las conocidas fake news (noticias falsas). Hace unos meses atrás se podía percibir su venida como una ola en tempestad, pero no se alcanzaba a comprender esta realidad como un fenómeno de masas. Se podría pensar que todo lo que atenta el equilibrio social requiere del derecho para restablecer la armonía de sus bases. Los diversos planos han demostrado que suele funcionar así; pero í‚¿la receta es aplicable en el contexto digital sin vulnerar principios como el del libre acceso a la información? El panorama puede sonar desalentador cuando las fake news atacan a los diferentes espacios virtuales, aprovechando la ingenuidad del usuario quien se convierte en multiplicador desinformante a través de sus redes sociales. En este caos de desinformación y pérdida de credibilidad en los mensajes, el poder radica en el usuario.
