Desinformation

Disinformation (desinformation) is deliberately false or misleading information, spread in order to cause harm. It differs from inaccuracies that are spread by mistake in that the intent is to mislead. The issue concerns both the individual's source criticism and society's combined ability to withstand influence, and it is handled by several different public agencies.
