Social media – disinformation tool in electoral campaigns
Content moderation on social media platforms is no longer as easy as moderating content that is nudity and violence, and the right to privacy of users makes it impossible to contextualize the influence and tendency to their disinformation.
In 2018, elections in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Israel were influenced by social networks, according to an article by the Digital Forensic Research Lab.

This challenge must to build by a new generation of #DigitalSherlocks equipped with knowledge to identify misinformation campaigns.
