The elections to the Polish Sejm and Senate in 2023, as well as the 2024 local elections, brought not only a wave of emotions but also a flood of disinformation and conspiracy theories that exploded in social media. Confederation politicians took the lead here.

The aim of this post is to show how disinformation can influence public opinion and how important it is to approach online content critically.

Today’s article was created after 3 months of activity and contact with activists and community workers. I must admit that this activity caused my absence from the blog.
