The article discusses the technologies of political manipulation of citizens in social networks and technologies that counteract manipulation based on artificial intelligence. In the era of digitalization of modern society, including the ways people interact, social networks have become very popular. Social networks are an interactive site where users can interact with each other, exchanging information, as well as receive information from various groups and channels. The amount of information in social networks is impressively huge, and therefore users can rarely distinguish real information from fictional information. Each user can publish any article while maintaining anonymity - all these factors have served to spread fake news. Almost every user is interested in what is happening in the world, in the country, in the city. Fake or fake news contains shocking, resonant information that is false. It is fake news that causes a great response from the public, shock, distrust, indignation and other strong emotions. All these aspects make the problem of mass distribution of fake news so acute and relevant.
