The rapid development of technology and information offers many conveniences, one of which is the efficiency of communication in the form of exchanging information. However, the rapid exchange of information was handled unwisely by some parties, including deliberately spreading false information called disinformation. This study aims to understand the phenomenon of disinformation that occurs in online media. This study uses qualitative research methods, while data collection techniques are carried out by exploring journals and other information relevant to the study. The results showed that the phenomenon of disinformation can be anticipated through institutional, technological and literacy approaches. Meanwhile, the cause of this disinformation phenomenon is caused by the abundance of incoming information and the lack of re-examination of the information received.
