Patient, person, people: developing a public health perspective on online disinformation and psychological manipulation | SciBeh

Description Science denialism, misinformation, disinformation, fake news, conspiracy theories, hoaxes, trolling, scams, cults, propaganda, and extremism are phenomena that share common elements: they exploit individuals’ vulnerabilities, operate through psychological manipulation, and erode trust in society by creating epistemic divergence (i.e., systems of knowledge, beliefs, and values that make access to a shared truth increasingly difficult), which in the extreme can lead to antisocial or even criminal behavior. In our increasingly complex world, these phenomena have the potential to undermine not just individuals’ wellbeing but the social cohesion of modern democracies.
