Misinformation is wrong or misleading information. Misinformation is usually spread unintentionally, mostly because of a lack of knowledge, by mistake, or simply a misunderstanding. The difference between misinformation and disinformation is that misinformation can happen by mistake, whereas disinformation is someone sharing fake information on purpose.
Misinformation can include inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or false information. Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, X, etc., are designed in ways that allow information, including misinformation, to be posted and shared far more quickly.
World Economic Forum said that misinformation and disinformation are caused to increase political differences and called it a global risk.
