In today's interconnected digital age, misinformation and disinformation have become a critical challenge affecting public trust, political discourse, and societal cohesion. The rapid spread of false or misleading information online has far-reaching consequences— shaping public opinion, influencing decisions, and even impacting democratic processes.
Addressing this complex issue requires collaborative efforts from digital platforms, content creators, and consumers to promote accuracy and combat falsehoods.
Understanding Misinformation and Disinformation
Misinformation refers to false or inaccurate information spread unintentionally, often due to misunderstandings or mistakes. Disinformation involves deliberately misleading content created and disseminated with the intent to deceive or manipulate public opinion. Both can spread rapidly through social media, websites, and other online platforms— posing significant challenges to reliable information dissemination.
