Understanding Misinformation and Disinformation
Misinformation and disinformation are common topics discussed in the podcast due to their significance in the information landscape. Misinformation refers to sharing wrong information while believing it to be true in good faith. On the other hand, disinformation involves intentionally sharing and promoting false information. The distinction lies in the intent behind the dissemination of information. There can be a blurry area between the two, such as spin or putting a biased view on something that may not be 100% true. With the rise of technology and manipulation tactics, it becomes crucial to discern between reliable information and manipulated content.
