Sumario:This article seeks to highlight the theoretical justification of truthful information as one of the fundamental components of any democratic project. The analysis is merely normative from a Schumpeterian perspective; that is, from the instrumental democracy approach; but, without failing to consider the results of various academic works that have generated valuable empirical evidence in the field of electoral behavior and democratic systems. The emphasis is on the problem generated by the emergence of information manipulation strategies that have successfully accompanied social networks in recent elections in the western world and the study of various proposals for solutions in the light of democratic theory.
