This article aims to reflect on Guy Debord's concept of society of the spectacle, in the face of the dissemination of fake news, in order to identify the harm that this phenomenon causes to the Right to Information. The editing and manipulation of images transforms and mediatizes them as an inverted representation of social reality, making society a spectator of itself, contemplating the world idealized by the media. The individual, through social media, promotes the dissemination of false information, representing a spectacular social context. Thus, the question is: how can the Right to Information help in reflections on fake news and misinformation? This study conducts a literature review focused on the characteristics of misinformation, fake news and the society of the spectacle. It is understood that the society of the spectacle becomes a feedback from the "false reality" itself, induced to such an act by the media corporations, which hold the informational power of social relevance, thirsting for centralizing and limiting access to information, as well. as in making a profit for the content produced and disseminated. As there are difficulties in distinguishing fake news from other concepts, which invade the category of fake news, society, unable to move away from the illusion promoted by the effervescent circulation of images and speeches, both imprecise and misleading, can find in the Right to Information helps to reduce the negative impacts of misinformation.
