The government of Castile-La Mancha is Directory to distinguish official profiles and fight fraud on social networks. The Government of Castile-La Mancha has launched this initiative to provide citizens with an easy way to consult about: … Verified accounts on various social networks for each member of the regional executive. This document also includes official profiles of all entities associated with the Community Board, including ministries, delegations, programs, plans, institutes, museums, and science parks.
Spokesperson Esther Padilla explained this Wednesday that the final push for this initiative came after learning that some fake profiles on social networks were impersonating the identities of representatives of the executive branch. In this way, the autonomous government itself has already published a unified document, and anyone can easily check the official accounts of each member of parliament and organizations, which can be viewed at the electronic address below.

Government spokesperson Garcia Page stressed that although the measure was taken in response to previously identified incidents, it was also precautionary in nature, and therefore “we want the public to know how to identify which profiles are trustworthy and have the tools to avoid falling prey to deception and manipulation. Many of the fake accounts were facilitating fraud.”
In this sense, Padilla is committed to: Promote a healthy information ecosystem. “As I commented at the beginning of the Congress, one of the goals we have set for ourselves from the Press Council is to combat disinformation, which may seem like mere background noise, but is a direct threat to the quality of democracy and weakens the bonds between society and its representatives,” he recalled.
He argued that when citizens have access to truthful, understandable and verified information, they can participate thoughtfully in democratic life. On the other hand, “common ground collapses when that space becomes contaminated with fake news and, in this particular case, identity theft.”
therefore, Padilla emphasized that each tool aimed at verifying information strengthens the organization’s transparency.. “Agencies must be the first to provide a secure and transparent information space, and this public example starts with providing the public with the tools to recognize accredited information sources,” it stressed, concluding that all of this is aimed at “strengthening public trust and bringing government even closer to the people.”
