The global reach of Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms has shown thatthey can be used to create and spread fake and misleading news quickly and without control. These platforms operate and thrive in an increasingly balkanised media eco-system where networks of users will predominantly access and consume information that conforms to their existing worldviews. Conflicting positions, even if relevant and authoritative, are suppressed, or overlooked in everyday digital information consumption. Digital platforms have contributed to the prolific spread of false information, enabled ignorance in online news consumers, and fostered confusion over determining fact from fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection explores:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDeception, what it is, and how its proliferation is achieved in      online platforms.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTruth and the appearance of truth, and the role digital      technologies play in pretending to represent truth.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow we can counter these vices to protect ourselves and our      institutions from their potentially baneful effects.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChapter 15 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via \u003c\/i\u003elink.springer.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-08-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030721565\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-72154-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 296\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385449930892,"sku":"9783030721565","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030721565.jpg?v=1772942225","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030721565","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
