disinformation.co.uk

Disinformation refers to false, misleading or inaccurate information deliberately spread to deceive or manipulate audiences. Distinct from misinformation, which is unintentionally false information, disinformation is intentionally created and distributed. It spreads through media channels, social platforms and word of mouth, often designed to influence opinions, undermine trust or damage reputations. Identifying and countering disinformation requires critical evaluation of sources and verification of claims.
