The uneven and complicated fight against false news, the important role of the media, the new types of censorship, the limits of freedom of expression and the traps that technology hides for fundamental rights were analyzed in the VIII Congress of Human Rights from the Abogacía Española Foundation, which warned of the risk that disinformation poses for democracy.
