Combating Fake News in Brazil – The Brasilians

Combating Fake News in Brazil

Silicon Minds, a digital marketing company with offices in Silicon Valley and Miami, has digital marketing clients for large companies and Brazilian celebrities. According to Fernando Azevedo, a partner at Silicon Minds, the demand for combating fake news from clients has generated a new service to be offered. Fernando takes pride in being the first company to offer this service in Brazil.

“The internet in Brazil has taken a more serious turn than in the United States,” says Fernando.

“Fake news is popping up at a rapid pace, whether it’s bringing traffic, followers, or sales online. As a digital marketing agency, we initially had to ask for help from our social media management team so that we could set up the service, and we managed to devise a strategy to combat fake news. Here are the main tasks from Silicon Minds’ Fake News Defense Blue Print version 1.0:

• Google and social media alerts with the names of our clients. This way, we can quickly identify the emergence of negative news and its origins.

• A reporting plan for fake news on major social networks and search engines so that we can quickly and correctly report fake news for social media and these search engines to take appropriate action.

• A request to our more than a thousand online collaborators through our network of followers to help us quickly report fake news so that the request reaches the attention of those responsible for social media and search engines.

• Legal summons to the origin of the fake news so that the responsible party proves the origin of the news.

• Informative posts on the client’s social media notifying the existence of fake news and asking fans to report the news.

• Reporting and exposing cyberbullies and creators of fake news on the internet.

Despite our blueprints being in constant evolution, we are confident that this service will prevent bigger problems for our clients and intimidate those who wish to harm the businesses and images of our clients,” completes Fernando.

According to Luiz Gastão Bittencourt, president of the councils of Sesc and Senac in Rio de Janeiro, not only politicians are targets of fake news. Large entrepreneurs and also big companies are victims of false articles (fake news), prompting the search for digital marketing services for proper protection.

Silicon Minds seeks effective ways for brands and individuals to achieve a positive online presence through E-Commerce, SEO, Apps, and Online Reputation. The Online Reputation company is American, founded in 2014 by Brazilians, with headquarters in Miami and Silicon Valley.

The innovation it presents to the Brazilian market consists of maintaining a positive online reputation consistently, as the need for a good reputation can arise at any moment, such as obtaining a special visa, applying to a college abroad, opening a business, preserving and protecting social and family status, participating in public or private competitions, running for elected or political positions, networking, new business opportunities, obtaining a loan, fundraising, buying property, and attracting new clients.
