    Fake experts 1/2

    The use of fake experts involves promoting individuals with questionable or irrelevant credentials as authorities on a topic. These “experts” are often used to give legitimacy to disinformation narratives, creating a false balance in public debates by presenting unqualified opinions as if they are equivalent to the consensus of the scientific community.
