It is important to understand how this phenome happens and how the receptor is persuaded to believe in the massage,so wecan understand the damage it can cause in the society, for example the elections that have been directly affected for this phenome and establish how to prevent it. Based in studies of other authors we understood the motivations and elements necessary to make and disseminate the information. Since fake news look like real ones its easier for people to believe in them without questioning. Considering the difficult and complexity of the combat of fake news, at the end of this article we analyse a few methods that are been used and highlight the favourable points and possible advances.
