minus-squarejarfil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-211 months ago Misinformation covers situations like defamation and many kinds of hate speech. Not really: Misinformation: “false information that is spread, regardless of whether there is intent to mislead.” Disinformation: “deliberately misleading or biased information; manipulated narrative or facts; propaganda.” The difference is between “I don’t believe you, so you get banned” vs. “I think you’re trying to mislead people, so you get banned”. Misinformation allows banning any information a mod believes to be “false”, for whatever reason, no matter the proof. (PS: if any mod doesn’t agree with these definitions, they could remove this comment based on “misinformation”)
