The last week of the second electoral roll these contents are multiplied to attract “attract” (or more confuse) to voters.
False vacancy certificates, manipulated university titles, inventive communications, contextual statements, videos showing large-scale detractors and recent circu- tions and social speeches in Ecuador treasonably deprived Lant of Andrés, CREO-PSC.
De hecho, the last week of the second electoral cycle these contents are multiplied to draw “attract” (or more confuse) to voters, but at the same level as Arauz and Lasso he denounced the “successful campaign” and applied for it.
The dates of the initiative Ecuador Verify confirm the increase in information on these days. Érika Astudillo, Editor-in-Chief of Ecuador and the Czech Republic, states that the last weeks of the first week will be held between ten and dozens of informative content verifications.
Prohibition of probes, in the second week he conducted 20 each week: “The themes are against the candidates (in the Presidency), the successful campaign. Now there is so much disinformation about the electoral process as in the first place, even though it can change the way we act on the day of the election. “.
The use of rumor also seeks to decimate the voters of the opposite tendency, not only to deal with electors, says Yalilé Loaiza, Director of Content of Ecuador Verify.
‘On Twitter, the information is probably a tenant 70% more than the information veradera. It’s the easiest way to leave a message to a group in social networks. The personal attack prevails over the propositions. So far no one was able to send in the perfect solution, which is not strange.
This information has been removed from the list of Presidential candidates, said Pablo Vidal, Digital Communications Consultant.
‘Burden fake news son a good deal. Its contents with very viral, llamatory titles and the child encounters with this morbo and has to share his contents empty. And Ecuador is a problem with the digital culture problem”, Señala.
These contents are replicas of massive form by the llamados troll center o los clash for approve of this large electoral mass that does not have access to literacy or digital culture, it is necessary to verify the dates that read.
“These are the last weeks we have seen the theme of the Venezuelans, we have seen the Don Medardo and his Players, the Ecuadorian selection, the fake vacancy. It’s generously reported to the parties because millions of ecuators have been using the good use of digital media. This election is the one that will create and replicate the messages in the box and box, it is said, the step of the digital medium to the physical medium. Pero es un voto engañado ”, dobbeltsteen Vidal.
But this disinformation field is growing exponentially in electoral moments like the current one because the public wants to see “what interests, with what it agrees”, and has not been able to tolerate oppressive visions, affirms Tania Orbe, chair of the University of San Francisco de Quito. “We’re related to the level of not having a version with what I agree with, then I invent it.”
In addition, Orbe indicates that the media outlets have contributed to the actual political polarization, and moreover, the versions of both parties are favored by one of the other candidates.
‘In the periodical he wants to work for the people, he and I seek information with what he does not agree with”, Indica.
El trasfondo es graf. In the end, the Ecuadorians are more central in thinking that the political message or the solution to the crisis that will cover the country: “We are the most dependent on Lasso’s supporters or Don Medardo and his Players support or not in Arauz and the political transfer fund,” said Vidal.
Access to public information to verify expropriated data in this electoral contingent is also a difficult task to overcome. Ecuador Verified has submitted various official dates for the validity of the proposed candidates, at the moment no receipt is received. Various applications have been made since December of this year.
Hecho, the initiative has sought out candidates and their teams to clarify data that are in Gobierno’s plans: “It’s going well. When the conventions are quickly contested, but when they want to indulge more in delicate themes take place ”, afudma Astudillo.
Pero si Arauz y Lasso han han demarcado de est contenidos, ¿quien los produce?
On the political theme, it is very difficult to determine whether to dedicate to who produces the false or over-the-counter contents, because “there is no cargo”, Loaiza insures.
According to the expert, There is a transparent transparency of the two candidates, which is known at the global level, as the information is part of the digital campaigns.
“We do not know the candidates or their teams, but they are militants. It is our knowledge that the information has been used as an instrument to attack its counterpart from the common and current user ”, dobbeltsteen.
Vidal concuerda e indica que When the parties implement political marketing and communication strategies, they are perfectly aware that the last weeks of a contest are met with the “mixed” vote, that is to say, the persons who have been identified and are “the time to generate confusion”.
In addition, adding that communication teams work in humane curtains, especially in these last days of the campaign, have already taken some serious accusations, not long after their rivals to dismantle.
‘The communication teams are more focused on creating ‘bomb’ notices that deny any false information”, Señala Vidal.
It has also been noted that some public figures have shown their preference for some of the political tendencies they have shared with informative articles that will help replicate them.
“Part of the lie against misinformation is trying to verify what is shared by these opinion pieces. Digital literacy is required to create accurate and verified content. The user has to constantly worry about getting information, ”said Loaiza.
Treat to verify the content lost by these actors is not easy. Según Astudillo, los posts informative of these characters are associated with opinion: “They mezclan dates with opinion and the opinion can not verify because the opinion is respected. We found cases against Arauz and Lasso”.
Alert for April 11
The experts warn that these contents will not be taken into account in the electoral silence that has been raging since Monday, April 8, and will include this Sunday 11, the day of the voting.
Hecho, this day there are many more false notices that in all of the campaign. Fraud will be determined in electoral centers, disturbances, and thus a “chaos” mayor will be generated, Vidal advised.
With this Orbe concurrence and, moreover, it was supported by the posters of the candidates that “pierda quien pierda afirmará que hubo fraude”: “Nadie will be credited with the results including the officials. The Electoral National Council is totally unapproved, it is not a solid institution. (…) The cord must come from the candidates in the current context (pandemic)”.
Ecuador Verifies that it passed the 7th of February (primary elections) the informative content is multiplied, in particular on the results and themes of biosecurity. Desde el mediodía empezaron a circular. This reality will take place, according to Astudillo and Loaiza.
