Spanish-Language Disinformation Targets Latino Voters, Spreading Fast

The video discusses the spread of disinformation across social media, particularly in Spanish-speaking communities, and its impact on political systems. It highlights the emotional effects of linking political candidates to negative regimes and the challenges faced by communities unfamiliar with credible journalism. While English disinformation is being addressed, Spanish disinformation remains largely unchecked. New fact-checking initiatives are emerging, especially on platforms like Univision and Telemundo, and through tools like WhatsApp chatbots. The main concern is that disinformation may not change opinions but could sow doubt and reduce political participation.
