Overview

Why Fakes Are More Than Just False News. Fakes are no longer just crude falsehoods circulating in the digital space. They have evolved into complex tools of manipulation, subtle, emotionally charged, and ideologically loaded. Their forms are diverse: fake news, deepfakes, manipulated studies, fake profiles, political propaganda, distorted statistics, or artificially generated opinions by bots. Despite their differences, they all share a common goal: to sow confusion, undermine trust, and influence power structures. In a world where information circulates globally, the distinction between knowledge and understanding has become a matter of survival. Knowledge alone is not enough, it must be contextualized, reflected upon, and questioned. Understanding means recognizing connections, uncovering motives, and interpreting narratives. Anyone who reduces fakes to simple factual errors underestimates their true impact. They do not merely operate at the level of information, but infiltrate deep into emotional and societal frameworks.
