Abstract

The post-truth era is characterized by a socio-cultural con-text in which objective facts have less influence in shaping public opinion than appeals to the individual’s beliefs. This epistemological crisis is a fertile scenario for the spread of false news, which also affec-ted the scientific community, which has suffered from the expansion of pseudoscientific and anti-scientific discourses on social networks, with the aim of undermining the public credibility of institutions in-volved in the production of knowledge. This attitude was even adop-ted by politicians and members of the Brazilian government, who disseminated false content to justify certain political measures. The work approaches the problem from the inductive method, through bibliographic review research. Digital literacy is proposed as a means of combating fake news, effective citizenship and, specifically, per-meability of the external community to the knowledge produced in the scientific community.
