Focused Alternatives

The core questions in Chapter 2 are the following: In what manner and how efficiently and effectively do states, companies, multilateral organizations and civil society organizations in Latin America face the problems of disinformation, hate discourses and challenges to political correctness? Are their measures enough to counter the problems in public communication in the region? I argue that most of the focused measures analyzed and developed by states, corporations, inter-governmental organizations and civil society organizations contribute in a non-intended articulated way to democratize communication and, in doing so, to democratize societies and subjectivities. However, their own limitations and the risks they imply as well the serious restrictions they face prevent them from overcoming all three articulated sets of the above-mentioned problems.
