Abstract
Online disinformation is deliberately false or misleading material, often masquerading as news content, which is designed to attract attention and exert influence through online channels. It may be produced to obtain advertising profit or for political purposes, and its spread is facilitated by social media and an anti-establishment current in European politics that creates a demand for alternative narratives.
