Disinformation is intentionally false information spread with the purpose of deceiving its recipients.
This differs from misinformation, which is false information that is spread without the intention to deceive its recipients. Though the intent is different, the results are often similar.
Disinformation is not a new problem and should be treated as a cybersecurity attack. It has become more prominent with the speed and reach of social media platforms. Additionally, the large number of information outlets available, including cable/satellite channels, websites, and social platforms, allows for greater access to and easier dissemination of false information than in decades past. Pandemics, wars and other sociopolitical conflicts are always in the middle and function as generators of false news. The Media challenge team has worked a lot on internet safety and fake news and has learnt how to spot them. We share this knowledge for better and safer use of the internet with the school community. Do the quiz the students created and find out how much you know!
