Abstract

Objective. The research to proceed has as objective analyzes the new contents of spread of false information, like this looking for to consider what would be the “deepfake” and the “fakenews” and the consequences of those image manipulations and veiculação of you announce.

Method. To develop an exploratory research with bibliographic survey of published materials, such as articles from scientific journals, in which a literature review was carried out in an easy way to clarify and present the subject of deepfakes still little known, and also presented that The way it is created, it manipulates a point of unbridled maneuver in front of social networks.

Results. It is known that today the software and applications for smatphones provide, very skillfully, that users manipulate images with extreme ease, the so-called fakeApp, which are tools that allow alteration and manipulation of images in a way that do not leave visual clues of their alteration, and may be indistinguishable from authentic ones. An example of the result of these manipulations is the “deepfake”, is the technique that replaces the face of one person by another in a video, in the current panorama it is common to visualize fake videos, which generate fakenews, or fake news, widely disseminated on social networks and that fit for gaining some credibility due to the difficulty of distinguishing the veracity in the image shown there, as much as the adulteration marks are imperceptible. What facilitates the production of “fakenews” is that any user with limited programming knowledge and little technological learning can create “deepfakes,” and this type of production has triggered challenges for legal professionals, who still find a significant difference between “deepfakes” and authentic videos.
