Résumé
The ease of creating fake virtual identities plays an important role in shaping the way information — and misinformation — circulates online. Social media platforms are increasingly prominent in shaping public debates, and the tension between online anonymity and accountability is a source of growing societal risks. This article outlines one approach to resolving this tension, with “pseudonym parties” that focus on proof of personhood rather than identity. Pseudonym parties are a low-tech approach to important digital challenges, linking online activity to anonymous digital tokens that are obtained by being physically present at an appointed time and place.

Misinformation
Misinformation is incorrect or misleading information. It differs from disinformation, which is deliberately deceptive and propagated information. Rumors are information not attributed to any particular source, and so are unreliable and often unverified, but can turn out to be either true or false. However, definitions of the terms might vary between cultural contexts. Even if later retracted, misinformation can continue to influence actions and memory.
Désinformation sur la pandémie de Covid-19
Des campagnes de désinformation sur la pandémie de Covid-19 font suite au déclenchement de l'épidémie de maladie à coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) causée par le SARS-CoV-2. Un très grand nombre de théories du complot, infox et cas de désinformation ont été relevés, amenant l'Organisation mondiale de la santé à parler d'infodémie.
Désinformation
La désinformation est un ensemble de pratiques et techniques de communication visant à influencer l'opinion publique en diffusant volontairement des informations fausses, faussées ou biaisées. Le terme est à distinguer de la mésinformation, qui consiste à diffuser une information fausse de manière involontaire. La désinformation est proche des termes propagande, complotisme, canular et rumeur, infox ou fake news. Les premières techniques de désinformation sont décrites dans L'Art de la guerre de Sun Tzu ().
