Abstract

Proliferarea dezinformării și apariția camerelor de ecou în mediul online reprezintă provocări semnificative pentru democrațiile moderne, având un impact direct asupra opiniei publice și asupra comportamentelor sociale. Studiul prezent se concentrează pe analiza unui grup Facebook, centrat în jurul unei figuri politice proeminente din România, cu 93.800 de membri și cu o medie de zece postări zilnice. Folosind tehnici avansate de ”machine-learnig” (învățare automată), precum și de ”hate speech-detection” (detectarea discursului negativ) prin intermediul IA (inteligență artificială), cercetarea evidențiază crearea sistematică a camerelor de ecou ca mediu propice fenomenului de amplificare a dezinformării. Rezultatele demonstrează impactul major pe care camerele de ecou online îl au asupra opiniei publice și subliniază nevoia de a menține integritatea informațiilor în mediile digitale. Studiul prezintă importanță atât pentru oamenii de știință, cât și pentru factorii de decizie politică și practicienii din mass-media sau social media, indicând o nevoie critică de a aborda provocările curente, reprezentate de fenomenul de dezinformare și de efectele camerelor de ecou din mediul online.
