SynopsisEnglish summary: The Internet is available to almost everyone, whether as an information or entertainment medium or as a publication platform. The Internet has no quality requirements and therefore offers no quality guarantees. And so the genre known as fake news - manipulatively disseminated, alleged news - has taken on a new form in our modern media world; one in which social networks spread untruths and half-truths at the speed of light. Today, fake news represents a huge challenge for society as a whole. How, after all, can false reports be distinguished from genuine information? Bat-people and unicorns on the moon? A complete lie. A presidential candidate running a child pornography ring in a pizzeria? Nonsense. A faked moon landing, rigged elections? Can't be true. Or is it? A real image of war or AI-generated? Hard to decide. In a world in which the supply of real, false and falsified information is constantly increasing, the boundaries between lies, manipulation, propaganda, opinion and truth are sometimes blurred. And this is deliberately exploited. States employ troll factories to spread propaganda and lies, populist parties use misleading representations to promote their world view or to destroy trust in established institutions. Even experts and the media can get lost in the jungle of information and don=t always cut a good figure in the battle for interpretative sovereignty. Hanno Beck and Aloys Prinz explain what types of fake news there are, how they arise, what consequences they have, how they work, what role states, the media, academic research and we ourselves play in this and how we can defend ourselves against targeted disinformation. German description: Fledermausmenschen und Einhorner auf dem Mond? Glatt gelogen. Eine Prasidentschaftskandidatin, die in einer Pizzeria einen Kinderpornoring betreibt? Unfug. Eine vorgetauschte Mondlandung, gefalschte Wahlen? Kann nicht sein. Oder doch? In einer Welt, in der das Angebot an echten, falschen und verfalschten Informationen standig zunimmt, losen sich die Grenzen zwischen Luge, Manipulation, Propaganda, Meinung und Wahrheit bisweilen auf. Staaten beschaftigen Trollfabriken zur Streuung von Propaganda und Lugen, soziale Netzwerke verbreiten Unwahrheiten und Halbwahrheiten mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit. Selbst Experten und Medien verlaufen sich schon einmal im Dschungel der Informationen und machen im Kampf um die Deutungshoheit nicht immer eine gute Figur. Hanno Beck und Aloys Prinz erlautern, welche Arten von Fake News es gibt, wie sie entstehen, welche Folgen sie haben, wie sie wirken, welche Rolle Staaten, Medien, Forschung und wir selbst dabei spielen und wie man sich gegen gezielte Desinformation wehren kann.
