This review addresses the complexity of contemporary disinformation through Raquel Recuero’s book, A rede da desinformação: Sistemas, estruturas e dinâmicas nas plataformas de mídias sociais, published in 2024. The text argues that, although deception is ancient, its current dimension is reconfigured by digital platforms. Recuero proposes disinformation in three dimensions—object, process, and effect—advocating the thesis of a systemic problem. While maintaining the centrality of the reviewed work, the text dialogues with Byung-Chul Han on the critique of infocracy and digital sovereignty. It also engages with Judith Butler, who offers lenses to understand polarization and denialism in public debates, such as on gender issues, which hinder informed deliberation and the pursuit of truth.
