Information manipulation
During one of Justin Bieber's last visits to Spain, the singer made a controversial appearance at the radio station. Chuiso took advantage of this fact to carry out a social experiment .
The experiment consisted of creating a fake news story. Specifically, he modified a tweet by Justin Bieber (inspecting the tweet and changing the content). Based on this fake tweet, he created false information that was published in major media outlets such as español.com, el mundo.com and la información.com.
Creating this type of news is not very difficult, since there are platforms such as Publisuites where you can publish a news item in one medium, after paying, and then publish it in other places such as forocoches, meneame or Twitter , in such a way that you can give visibility to the fake news you have created.

Online Reputation Attack: Google Suggest
When you put a word in the Google search engine, it automatically offers you a series of results that are the most searched for in relation to that word. These results are offered by a Google algorithm , which can be used for negative or positive purposes:
For example, if you use bots and promote searches for “ PC Components scam ” or “ PC Components fishing ”, you can damage the company’s reputation and make many users wonder if buying on the website is safe.
In this case, Chuiso uses the example of the website « losandalucesson.com » which was mobile database uae created to try to change the suggestions that Google gives about Andalusians. Based on this page, they created thousands of searches with the aim of modifying the suggestions , something they temporarily achieved.
Currently, its effect has been diluted and negative results are appearing again because these are the searches that users perform most naturally.
