.THE WORDS disinformation and misinformation are actually often used reciprocally. But there is an understated difference in their significance. Disinformation is when false info is dispersed along with the intent to scam, typically as aspect of a co-ordinated campaign. False information is actually when incorrect relevant information is by accident spread out, as an example by duplicating a rumour to a friend or even reposting a dubious insurance claim on a social-media system.
