Resumo: We live in the age of disinformation, in which false content spreads across the internet in a matter of seconds, negatively influencing the functioning of society. Thus, not only is democracy put at risk, but also the health of populations around the world. Despite being on the rise, this false information has been harming humanity for a long time, well before new technologies came along. In this sense, this research highlights the impacts caused by disinformation on society and also the relevance of the work of the checking agencies in the fight against false information. The study is aimed at Lupa due to its prominence in actions against disinformation both nationally and internationally, and false information is the object of analysis for delaying the end of the pandemic. First, this research analyzes the main false information that circulated between March 10 and May 10, 2020, that is, in the first two months of the pandemic counting from the date that the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic. The survey also highlights the results of an online questionnaire applied to the public on news consumption, which obtained 103 responses. The objective is to understand how the forms of consumption were modified in this period and how the public reacts to this excessive amount of information. Another analysis from the anti-vaccine Facebook group called “The dark side of vaccines” is presented. The data collected on the Lupa website and the Facebook group are categorized using a diagram, based on Bardin's studies on content analysis (2011). The 193 checks studied on the Lupa website show that homemade recipes to cure Covid-19 are the false information that most convinces the population. In addition, consumers of this information, whether false or true, report characteristics of anxiety, depression, panic, and even feel the need to distance themselves from news related to the pandemic. In the anti-vaccine group studied, we noticed that there is a considerable amount of false content that tries to discredit science and vaccination. There are more than 15 thousand members in the group, interacting and trying to find ways to escape the mandatory immunization. We also conclude that the end of the pandemic is further away with the circulation of false information, which causes negative psychological impacts on the population. Checking agencies do not solve the problem of disinformation alone, which is why it is important to combine media education, effective laws and fact checking. These checks also do not reach all audiences, considering that these texts are read by people with a higher educational level, excluding people with a low level of education. Finally, we present data that show the urgency of actions that seek to minimize the impacts of misinformation on society, since they can have serious consequences.

Assim, não só a democracia é colocada em risco, como também a saúde das populações ao redor do mundo. Apesar de estarem em amplo crescimento, estas informações falsas prejudicam a humanidade desde muito tempo, bem antes das novas tecnologias surgirem. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa evidencia os impactos provocados pela desinformação na sociedade e também a relevância do trabalho das agências de checagem no combate às informações falsas. O estudo é voltado para a Lupa devido ao seu destaque em ações contra a desinformação tanto no âmbito nacional quanto internacional, e as informações falsas são objeto de análise por atrasarem o fim da pandemia. Em primeiro lugar, esta pesquisa analisa as principais informações falsas que circularam entre 10 de março e 10 de maio de 2020, ou seja, nos dois primeiros meses da pandemia contando a partir da data que a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) declarou pandemia mundial. A pesquisa destaca também os resultados de um questionário online aplicado ao público em geral sobre o consumo de notícias, que obteve 103 respostas. O objetivo é entender como as formas de consumo foram modificadas neste período e como o público reage a esta quantidade excessiva de informações. É apresentada outra análise do grupo antivacina do Facebook chamado “O lado obscuro das vacinas”. Os dados levantados no site da Lupa e do grupo do Facebook são categorizados por meio de um diagrama, com base nos estudos de Bardin sobre análise de conteúdo (2011). As 193 checagens estudadas no site da Lupa mostram que receitas caseiras para curar a Covid-19 são as informações falsas que mais convencem a população. Além disso, os consumidores destas informações, sejam elas falsas ou verdadeiras, relatam características de ansiedade, depressão, pânico, e até mesmo sentem a necessidade de se afastar das notícias relacionadas a pandemia. Já no grupo antivacina estudado notamos que há uma quantidade considerável de conteúdos falsos que tentam descredibilizar a ciência e a vacinação. São mais de 15 mil membros no grupo, interagindo e tentando encontrar formas de fugir da obrigatoriedade da imunização. Concluimos também que o fim da pandemia fica mais distante com a circulação de informações falsas, que provocam impactos psicológicos negativos na população. As agências de checagem não resolvem o problema da desinformação sozinhos, e por isso é importante unir educação midiática, leis eficazes e a checagem de fatos. Estas checagens também não alcançam todos os públicos, considerando que estes textos são lidos por pessoas com nível educacional maior, excluindo as pessoas que apresentam baixo grau de instrução. Por fim, apresentamos dados que evidenciam a urgência de ações que busquem minimizar os impactos da desinformação na sociedade, uma vez que elas podem trazer consequências graves.Universidade Federal da ParaíbaBrasilComunicaçãoPrograma de Pós-Graduação em JornalismoUFPBMoura, Sandra Reginahttp://lattes.cnpq.br/3572174435607783Deodato, Paulo Gerson Olinto2022-07-18T12:33:11Z2022-05-092022-07-18T12:33:11Z2022-02-22info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesishttps://repositorio.ufpb.br/jspui/handle/123456789/23485porAttribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/br/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da UFPBinstname:Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB)instacron:UFPB2022-08-09T12:32:05Zoai:repositorio.ufpb.br:123456789/23485Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertaçõeshttps://repositorio.ufpb.br/PUBhttp://tede.biblioteca.ufpb.br:8080/oai/requestdiretoria@ufpb.br|| diretoria@ufpb.bropendoar:2022-08-09T12:32:05Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da UFPB - Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB)false
