Popis: The phenomenon of fake news in public health worldwide reflcts signifiant changes in the regime of health information, particularly in the West. It reveals a transition from a scenario in which the medical community arguably dominated the flw of health information — grounded in the biomedical model — to a more crowded, competitive and chaotic scenario. The digital revolution has upended the old regime by transforming the large-scale production, distribution and consumption of health information. Consequently, misinformation and disinformation have become widespread, as the public is able to obtain information about health issues from an array of sources and platforms, and rogue actors flod the internet with factually incorrect information, hearsay and conspiracy theories. El fenómeno de fake news en la salud pública mundial reflja importantes cambios en el régimen de información sobre salud, principalmente en Occidente. Revela una transición de una situación de presumible dominio de la comunidad médica del fljo de información sobre salud – basada en un modelo biomédico, a otro escenario más saturado, competitivo y caótico. La revolución digital ha invertido el antiguo régimen transformando en gran escala la producción, distribución y consumo de la información sobre salud. Consecuentemente, ha habido una generalización de desinformación y datos falsos debido a la capacidad del público de adquirir conocimientos sobre asuntos de salud de diversas fuentes y plataformas. Y así actores deshonestos inundan Internet con información factualmente incorrecta, rumores y teorías conspiratorias.
