Does Digital Truth correspond to Human Truth in the Digital Society (from Theory to Practice)?

ABSTRACT :It seeks to create a space for debate and reflection on the problem of the phenomenon of digital truth, as well as the existing criteria on human truth, in the Information and Knowledge Society, historically constructed and interrelated with disinformation and, as these same concepts will be transported/adapted and adopted, by the Digital Society. This phenomenon poses new questions to Information Science, since it represents a new informational reality, in the literature and epistemological discussion, of Information Science The exploratory character occurs with the transition phase of the model of society and cognitive development, through an epistemological reflection of the concept of truth. It is understood that it is problematic to think about whether or not the same criteria will be adopted by the Digital Society. However, there is information that is closer to these criteria than others, depending a lot on technological sources, purpose, knowledge and above all the ethics of those who feed/write and use information, in digital technology. In addition, it is perceived that adults who did not have access to the education process, about the use/use of technologies, tend to believe more in fake news. The Digital Society poses great challenges to the (Global) Human Society, among others, the debate on the definition of the concept of digital truth, because the human being is part of a whole, which we call the universe, in time and space. The term digital truth is approached from the discussion about the criteria and responsibility of citizens in the feeding and use of information. We do not intend to deal exhaustively with this theme, because it is broad and complex for the space of a text, and we do not even know if we can deal with it without incurring in generalizations. Our intentions, which are much more modest, refer to documentary research for the understanding and development of truth in the Digital Society and some of its multiple relationships.
