Over the last couple of years, I've become increasingly concerned about the spread of disinformation and misinformation in social media and the news media.
The two terms are closely related. As I understand it misinformation is inaccurate information and disinformation is false information. Both are intended to mislead and can be considered propaganda, depending on their source.
I've set up a separate topic on the blog to cover both although, for simplicity, I've labelled it Disinformation.
These links will take you to older articles on misinformation an disinformation.
