Abstract

The aim of this research is to test the applicability of a collaborative and decentralized model of fact-checking during the 2020 elections in São Luís/MA. The model was materialized into a platform called “Sem Migué”, in which volunteers had the opportunity to publish their own fact checks in the form of verification forums. The experiment seeks to investigate how this practice could help the participants deal with disinformation. The results will be used as resources in the development of an updated version of the model.
