The show 360º, in the eve of the US elections on November 3rd, recorded an article in the already well-known fake news farm in Veles. From the article we can hear that the people of Veles believe that 2016 will never be repeated, the year when they seriously earned from the production and distribution of fake news. This does not mean that the business is completely stalled, which, in turn, continues to put the country in an awkward situation.

 Rosana Aleksoska, head of the F2N2 fake news project for the 360˚ show, said the following: They also pose a security threat to any country. In the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, coronavirus disinformation poses a threat to citizens’ health.

Among other things, Aleksoska warns that the passivity of North Macedonia can create a problem where it does not exist.

“We cannot analyze them only in terms of whether they violate the law and whether it is a matter of financial gain or not. Our country must oppose more resolutely, because as we see, it is not only a problem in our domestic information sphere, our country is already starting to become a problem for other countries as well. Through such activities, North Macedonia risks being characterized as a country of disinformation that targets citizens of other countries. “Next, it is very easy and legitimate for anyone to characterize this as interference in the internal affairs of other countries.”
