.THE WORDS disinformation and also misinformation are often used reciprocally. However there is actually a refined distinction in their meaning. Disinformation is when false information is spread along with the intent to trick, often as component of a co-ordinated initiative.
False information is when misleading relevant information is accidentally dispersed, for example through duplicating a rumour to a close friend or even reposting an unsubstantiated claim on a social-media platform.
