Description of the WEU
Infobesity. This term was coined to describe the overabundance of information received by citizens today. The corollary of infobesity is the proportion of fake news that pollutes the networks and is occupying a growing space. Using concrete cases and practical exercises, this UEO invites you to discover tools that will allow you to better inform yourself, but also to reflect on the biases and preconceived ideas that lead us to believe anything.
