Palomo García, Miguel 2024-01-31T15:13:51Z 2024-01-31T15:13:51Z 2021 Palomo, M. How disinformation kills: philosophical challenges in the post-Covid society. HPLS 43, 51 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/s40656-021-00408-4 0391-9714 10.1007/s40656-021-00408-4 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/97276 1742-6316 https://doi.org/10.1007/s40656-021-00408-4 The paper argues that the large extent of disinformation has increased the number of deaths from coronavirus due to the proliferation of hoaxes spread via digital tools and media. It is noted that this problem could worsen in the post-COVID society and as such should be understood as having significant political import. Moreover, the phenomenon of disinformation has raised ethical questions around how to actively prevent deaths indirectly caused by hoaxes, as well as epistemological questions around maintaining criteria of truthfulness. eng restricted access How disinformation kills: philosophical challenges in the post‑Covid society journal article
