Disinformation refers to false information that is deliberately created and spread with the intention to deceive and manipulate others. It is often propagated with malicious intent, such as influencing opinions, causing confusion, or undermining trust in institutions or individuals. Disinformation campaigns may be carried out by individuals, groups, or state actors, and they can target various mediums, including social media, traditional media, and online forums.
Misinformation refers to false or inaccurate information that is unintentionally spread without malicious intent. Unlike disinformation, misinformation may arise from genuine mistakes, misunderstandings, or misinterpretations.
Malinformation refers to true information that is shared with the intent to cause harm or damage to individuals, organizations, or institutions. While the information itself may be accurate, its dissemination is intended to inflict harm, incite fear, or discredit individuals or entities.
