Misinformation, disinformation – you’ve probably heard these terms in the past and wondered if and how they differ in meaning. It’s the intention that distinguishes them: Misinformation is any type of false information that people might fall for. It’s verifiably incorrect or misleading but hasn’t been created or shared with the intention to deceive people. Disinformation, on the other hand, is created and spread in order to misinform and reach a certain goal.
错误信息、虚假信息——您以前可能已经听说过这些术语，并且想知道它们在意义上是否有区别，以及如何区分。简而言之：错误信息是人们误信的任何种类的信息，确实是不正确的或有误导性，但并非出于欺骗他人的目的而制造或传播。而虚假信息则是为了有意误导并达到某个目的。
