Our research is based on a dataset of 460 fact-checking posts published on politically aligned Brazilian Facebook pages/groups. We used frame analysis to discuss how these posts share fact-checking links. Our results point to the right-wing affiliated groups/pages sharing more fact-checking than left-aligned ones, but using framing strategies to subvert fact-checking content to support their beliefs.These results show that fact-checking does circulate on political Facebook groups/pages that share disinformation (and they circulate on right-wing and conservative ones), but it is used to reinforce their discourse, rather than debunk it.}, journal={AoIR Selected Papers of Internet Research}, author={Recuero, Raquel}, year={2021}, month={Sep.} }
