الملخص EN

This research deals with the phenomenon of fake news.

That has become infested with the World Wide Web and social media.

Behind them are individuals and groups that have used these news as a means of disrupting and causing confusion for various purposes, especially in times of crisis, like what happened during the outbreak of the Coronavirus (Covid 19).

The research aims to introduce the concept of fake news, its source, and the motives for its spread.

And since it has become a real threat to the security and stability of countries, many media verify the authenticity of the news published in social media before their adoption.

Governments, including Algeria, are taking steps to combat these news that were classified as cybercrime, prosecuting their promoters, as well as expanding awareness-raising operations to end the spread of this phenomenon.
