PLOTKI, DEZINFORMACJE I ZŁOŚLIWE INFORMACJE WE WSPÓŁCZESNYM DYSKURSIE O PRAWACH CZŁOWIEKA
Rumours, dis(mis)information and malice information in the contemporary human rights’ discourse

Summary/Abstract: The contemporary discourse on human rights is a discourse in which its participants are using the language of polarization, exclusion and stigmatization towards various social groups, e.g. Ukrainians, women, migrants, refugees, LGBT. The inalienable and universal nature of human rights is being questioned as well as an equality before the law. In political communication, the language of discrediting political opponents is increasingly used, as well as the rhetoric of fear, aversion and hostility towards "strangers" is used. This is because the contemporary public discourse on human rights is increasingly infected with mis(dis)information and malicious information and its participants – from Kremlin propagandists to national agents of influence – use the manipulative infrastructure of social media.
