This final chapter borrows the concept of force of falsity from the famous Italian semiotician and novelist Umberto Eco to describe how manipulated information remains visible and accessible despite efforts to debunk it. In particular, search engine indexes are getting confused by disinformation and they too often fail to retrieve the authentic piece of content, the one which is neither manipulated nor decontextualized.
