The importance of the study is determined by the necessity to develop effective methods for detecting fake news to ensure societal information security, as misinformation can be used to harm at various levels, including engaging in hybrid warfare. The aim of this work is a comparative analysis of the use of digital literacy as a tool for detecting fake news in European and Kazakhstani media to determine the most effective mechanisms of counteraction. Programs and strategies for using digital literacy tools to improve media literacy among the population were analyzed. The study showed that in European countries, fact-checking and media education tools are actively used, while in Kazakhstani mass media, this approach is still in the early stages of development. It was also determined that effective cooperation between government agencies, mass media, and educational institutions plays an important role in detecting fake news, and only comprehensive interaction can lead to the formation of a truly effective mechanism for countering misinformation. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the obtained results can be used to develop recommendations for increasing the effectiveness of using digital literacy as a tool to combat misinformation
