Trolls, bots and fake news are campaign tools in presidential election

Mexican political parties are using deceptive tactics on social media to distort the political debate and gain voter support in the lead-up to this year’s presidential election, according to digital experts. 

In a report published yesterday, the newspaper El País said the main target of parties’ online strategies are young people, including 14 million new voters who could sway the outcome of the July 1 election.
