“…They found that AutoPPG tended to reveal more operations related to users' personal data than actually appeared in the existing privacy policies. Zimmerle and Wall (2019) have drawn up a set of guidelines for the evaluation of privacy policies in mobile applications for children, as well as for children's websites. The authors define the key elements that should be included in privacy policies: a description of all personal data collected; details of the use that third parties can make of the information collected; specification of the parental control options that parents/guardians can implement; and, finally, a highly visible link to the privacy policies.…”

The growth of fake news is nowadays a growing reality, leading to users feeling insecure when consuming information. Text-based news is perhaps the most manipulated, but the video is rapidly gaining ground. Technology allows content to be easily adulterated, leading users to become misinformed. In this study, we explain the different image, video, and audio manipulation techniques that are carried out with software and advanced audiovisual techniques. The most prominent methods are morphing and warping, together with machine learning techniques. Also, artificial intelligence is a critical element in the growth of fake video generation. This brings with it the need to identify the fake videos to verify the facts being told. It is also essential to understand social tolerance, especially in humour programmes, as some media outlets use these mechanisms. Moreover, it is analysed the importance of privacy policies that affect how the users’ personal information is collected and their implications in their fundamental rights. Finally, it is concluded with the need for media and digital literacy campaigns in the education system to minimise this problem. Resumen El crecimiento de las noticias falsas es hoy en día una realidad creciente, que lleva a los usuarios a sentirse inseguros cuando consumen información. Las noticias basadas en texto son quizás las más manipuladas, pero el vídeo está ganando terreno rápidamente. La tecnología permite adulterar fácilmente los contenidos, lo que lleva a los usuarios a estar mal informados. En este estudio se explican las diferentes técnicas de manipulación de imagen, vídeo y audio que se llevan a cabo con software y técnicas audiovisuales avanzadas. Los métodos más destacados son el morphing y el warping, junto con las técnicas de aprendizaje automático. Además, la inteligencia artificial es un elemento crítico en el crecimiento de la generación de vídeos falsos. Esto conlleva la necesidad de identificar los vídeos falsos para verificar los hechos que se cuentan. También es esencial entender la tolerancia social, especialmente en los programas de humor, ya que algunos medios de comunicación utilizan estos mecanismos. Además, se analiza la importancia de las políticas de privacidad que afectan a la recogida de información personal de los usuarios y sus implicaciones en sus derechos fundamentales. Finalmente, se concluye con la necesidad de realizar campañas de alfabetización mediática y digital en el sistema educativo para minimizar este problema.

“…Designers of children’s websites should learn how to create web pages as tools for learning and supporting traditional learning methods (Dogruer et al , 2011). If the best designers who are unaware of children’s needs design the websites, the design process is likely to fail (Zimmerle and Wall, 2019).…”

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the selected children’s websites in terms of information visualization features based on the criteria existing in the related literature and expert scrutiny. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative) study was conducted with a descriptive-comparative approach. A set of 80 English websites, as well as 24 quality Persian websites, were selected constituting a sample size of 104 websites. A conceptual model was developed from an extensive literature review on information visualization in children’s websites. In the quantitative part, a checklist derived from the conceptual model and based on the heuristic evaluation method was distributed among 20 related experts, the data of which were then analysed through Partial Least Squares using SmartPLS 3.0. Findings Confirmatory factor analysis showed high-reliability indicators and fit indices in measurement and structural models showing that the conceptual model had the necessary validities among the expert evaluators. Path coefficients showed that layout design and user interface design were the first and last priorities among the dimensions. It was also found that English websites were much more successful than Persian websites in supporting the features of information visualization. Originality/value The current study has implications for the effective use of standard features related to information visualization in children’s websites usable for designers, media specialists, parents, instructors and librarians, which would also make the children more engaged to better use, learn and interact with the websites.
