Ultimately, both misinformation and disinformation can be harmful. It’s not only that people will believe incorrect information, false information costs the global economy a lot of money and can threaten democracy and efficient governance. And it’s difficult to stop because false news spreads significantly faster, deeper and more broadly than news that is correct.
归根结底，错误信息和虚假信息都可能有害。错误信息会误导人们，并给全球经济造成巨大损失，更可能威胁到民主和有效治理。而且，假新闻往往比正确的新闻传播得更快、更深、更广，基本上无法阻断。
