Freedom of Speech and the Regulation of Fake News

Disinformation is not a product of the digital age. False news has always circulated across society, as demonstrated by the case of the ' Great Moon Hoax' in 1835. However, the circulation of false and inaccurate content on the Internet, and particularly on social media, has amplified, as is usually the case in cyberspace, the phenomenon. Indeed, growing concern about potential risks for democratic discourse and processes has emerged in recent years. For example, recent conflicts, particularly in Ukraine, have underlined how disinformation is far beyond only a concern for individual freedoms or national borders.
