Misinformation refers to false or misleading information that is spread regardless of intent. It encompasses any data, claims, or beliefs that are inaccurate or unfounded, and can be disseminated through various channels, including social media, news outlets, and word of mouth. Unlike disinformation, which is deliberately created and shared to deceive, misinformation may arise from misunderstandings, misinterpretations, or a lack of accurate knowledge.
