In The Thick Presents: The Misinformation Web

Listen Later

This week In The Thick shares an episode of Latino USA.

The 2024 presidential election has seen a rise in Spanish-language misinformation and in the content creators making a living by pushing out false content. For months, Futuro Investigates in collaboration with Latino USA, tracked how lies and conspiracies about the election and the candidates that originated in English soon found their way to Spanish-speaking audiences, amid the expanded monetization of tech platforms and the rise of technologies like AI. We meet face to face with social media influencers pushing out misinformation in Spanish, and with the experts combating it.

This story is part of our ongoing election coverage “The Latino Factor: How We Vote.”
