Abstract

The following article describes the phenomenon of “fake news” as a powerful means of argumentative influence. It is concluded that nowadays the influence of fake news can be characterized as a global phenomenon. The fake problem did not arise in our time; it accompanies mankind throughout its existence, from the moment of the cognitive revolution people deceived each other, engaged in fraud and manipulation. The solution of this problem should not be sought on the path of striving for honesty or increasing responsibility for lies. In the last decades of the 20th and 21st centuries, mankind successfully solved a number of problems that previously seemed intractable. The problem of fake news will also be solved. The main thing is the awareness of the problem and its setting on the day.
