However, fake news could also travel faster and wider, while the traditional gatekeeping process of media diminishes. In the context of the Brexit referendum and the U.S. presidential campaign in 2016, the spike of “post-truth” in the headlines spurred heated discussions of the tension between “appeals to emotion” and “objective facts”. Based on a review of anti-fake news measures, case analysis, and expert consultations, this study examined the government’s roles from three dimensions, as public sphere guarantor, constrained moderation provider and knowledge production facilitator in the efforts to create a news ecosystem that values and promotes truth. Avec le progrès des technologies de la communication et le nombre croissant de personnes qui se tournent vers leurs appareils mobiles pour obtenir des actualités et des informations, les médias sociaux servent à la fois de plateforme et de fournisseur de contenu. Cependant, les intox (ou fakes news ) peuvent aussi circuler plus rapidement et plus largement, tandis que le processus traditionnel de contrôle des médias diminue. Dans le contexte du référendum sur le Brexit et de la campagne présidentielle américaine de 2016, le pic de "post-vérité" dans les gros titres a suscité des discussions animées sur la tension entre les "appels à l'émotion" et les "faits objectifs". Sur la base d'un examen des mesures anti-fake news, d'une analyse de cas et de consultations d'experts, cette étude a examiné les rôles du gouvernement sous trois dimensions, en tant que garant de la sphère publique, fournisseur de modération sous contrainte et facilitateur de la production de connaissances dans les efforts visant à créer un écosystème de nouvelles qui valorise et promeut la vérité.  Con l'avanzamento della tecnologia della comunicazione e il crescente numero di persone che si rivolgono ai loro dispositivi mobili per notizie e informazioni, i social media stanno funzionando sia come piattaforma che come fornitore di contenuti. Tuttavia, le fake news potrebbero anche viaggiare più velocemente e più ampiamente, mentre il tradizionale processo di gatekeeping dei media diminuisce. Nel contesto del referendum sulla Brexit e della campagna presidenziale statunitense nel 2016, il picco di "post-verità" nei titoli dei giornali ha stimolato accese discussioni sulla tensione tra "appelli alle emozioni" e "fatti oggettivi". Sulla base di una revisione delle misure anti-fake news, dell'analisi dei casi e delle consultazioni di esperti, questo studio ha esaminato i ruoli del governo da tre dimensioni, come garante della sfera pubblica, fornitore di moderazione vincolata e facilitatore della produzione di conoscenza negli sforzi per creare un ecosistema di notizie che valorizza e promuove la verità.
