How Crowdfunding influences the spread of Fakes News in Brazilian elections

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of Resolution No. 23,607 of the Superior Electoral Court in the new form of contribution and donation to political parties which we call Crowdfunding, thus influencing the communication and marketing of electoral campaigns, in addition to the dissemination of information and Fakes News , about the electoral candidates in the Brazilian elections, always focusing on how much democracy influences the whole process of false information and its financing. The adopted methodology was the research on the subject in Brazil and in the world making a relation between the technological methods of financing, donations and information through digital platforms, which concludes that there is no separation between values, donations and dissipation of information between the most used networks in electoral campaigns, since we can launch a false campaign through sponsorship or even hiring professionals who do it quickly.
