Abstrakt
Competences and communicative potentials emerge as indispensable elements for the
study of contemporary democracies. Defending democracy, human rights, fundamental
rights, and seeking to combat social inequality, implies recognizing the influence of
information and communication technologies in these scenarios. Information becomes
an element of power that is not only communicative, but political, economic and social. Therefore, what are the threats and means for containment and adaptation to democratic
realities? What should be considered when analyzing the function of information in the
context of a democracy that intends to be deliberative? Investigating the power of disinformation
is a central point of discussion, especially with regard to the protection of democracy,
the fight against social inequalities and the enhancement of education. Through
the analytical method of bibliographic review, the necessary interdisciplinarity between
legal, philosophical and sociological writings is used, with some observations on the global
and Brazilian scenario. Moreover, starting from the analysis of the relationship between
information, ignorance and truth, arises at the problem of the two highlighted phenomena:
infoexclusion and informational silencing. Finally, the consequences of this context
on the protection of human rights and democracy are analyzed, signaling education as the
main instrument for combating disinformation.
