PARTIDOS POLÍTICOS Y DESINFORMACIÓN. ¿PUEDEN LOS GOBIERNOS DEFENDER LA VERDAD?: Consideraciones sobre la “Comisión permanente contra la desinformación” del Gobierno español y otras alternativas.

Following the 2016 US elections and the scandal around Facebook and Cambridge Analytica in 2018, the EU and several of its members promoted initiatives to fight disinformation. This paper focuses on one instrument, the "Permanent Commission against disinformation", created by the Government of Spain in 2020. It analyzes its background, parliamentary debates and early work, as well as similar instruments in Europe and USA. And it is hypothesized that this type of tool may not be an adequate solution to the problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
