Husák, Matěj ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (advisor) ; Končelík, Jakub (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the spread of manipulative, propagandistic and fake news in the Internet online environment. The spread of disinformation also occurred during the Czech presidential election, which took place in January 2018.
