Most of the major media have opened spaces dedicated to verifying or decrypting infox.

(This is the case of RFI in this program), but given the scale of the phenomenon, structures have been created with the sole mission of monitoring the Internet and identifying sites that deserve our trust and those whose information is unreliable or even deceptive.
