THE POLICY OF DIGITAL SILENCE: BANNING PRESIDENTIAL FAKE NEWS

By understanding fake news as a discursive twist or a discursive lie, we aim to observe how, in digital materiality, they have reached the status of truth in the lives of President Jair Bolsonaro, but, on the other hand, they have been banned as liars and incorrect. of the platforms. Such an undertaking is justified by the need to understand and analyze contemporary language facts that have been evidenced in the dystopian face of the pandemic by the President of the Republic and that are materialized through digital. Therefore, we will analyze the functioning of digital silencing from the banning of the October 21, 2021 live from YouTube and the interruption of the September 16, observing: (i) the statements considered liars by the platform; (ii) the breach message; (iii) YouTube guidelines on incorrect medical information. For this, we will have the theoretical-methodological framework of Discourse Analysis theorized by Cristiane Dias (2018, 2019) and Eni Orlandi (2007, 2008, 2017, 2020a, 2020b), in addition to the recent writings of the Frenchwoman Marie-Anne Paveau (2021).
