В статье проанализированы как более общее понятие – дезинформация, так и ее различные формы – ложные новости, дипфейки. Целью исследования является рассмотрение роли дезинформации, ее методов и последствий применения, в частности, в ходе президентской кампании Дональда Трампа на выборах в США в 2016 и 2024 гг. Актуальность работы обусловлена ростом влияния информационных технологий на электоральные процессы, а также эволюции форм дезинформации, которые представляют собой угрозу для демократических институтов. В статье используется социологический подход, включающий в себя вторичный анализ данных в качестве метода исследования. Работа основана на анализе открытых статистических данных, результатов опросов, материалов СМИ. Результаты исследования показали, что дезинформация сыграла свою роль в президентских выборах в США в 2016 и 2024 гг. и приобрела новые формы и механизмы применения, а также способствовала победе Дональда Трампа на выборах. Выводы автора свидетельствуют о значимости механизмов дезинформации в современном политическом процессе, особенно в период электоральных кампаний.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article is devoted to the study of the influence of disinformation on modern electoral processes in the United States. The article analyzes both a more general concept – disinformation, and its various forms – fake news, deepfakes. The purpose of the study is to examine the role of disinformation, its methods and the consequences of its use, in particular, during the presidential campaign of Donald Trump in the US elections in 2016 and 2024. The relevance of the work is due to the growing influence of information technology on electoral processes, as well as the evolution of forms of disinformation that pose a threat to democratic institutions. The article uses a sociological approach that includes secondary data analysis. The work is based on the analysis of open statistical data, survey results, and media materials. The results showed that disinformation played a role in the US presidential elections in 2016 and 2024 and acquired new forms and mechanisms of application, as well as helped Donald Trump win the election. The author’s conclusions indicate the importance of disinformation mechanisms in the modern political process, especially during electoral campaigns.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>выборы президента</kwd><kwd>дезинформация</kwd><kwd>Дональд Трамп</kwd><kwd>ложные новости</kwd><kwd>искусственный интеллект</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>USA</kwd><kwd>presidential election</kwd><kwd>disinformation</kwd><kwd>Donald Trump</kwd><kwd>fake news</kwd><kwd>artificial intelligence</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Виноградова 2024 – Виноградова Е.А.
