    • Misinformation is false or inaccurate information. Examples of misinformation include false rumors, or insults and pranks, while examples of more deliberate disinformation include malicious content such as hoaxes, spearphishing and computational propaganda. Its main effects raise fear and suspicion among the general population. News parody or satire can become misinformation if it is taken as serious by the unwary and spread as if it were true. The terms "misinformation" and "disinformation" have often been associated with the neologism “fake news", defined by some scholars as "fabricated information that mimics news media content in form but not in organizational process or intent". The main difference between misinformation and disinformation is misinformation is shared regardless of intent to mislead, while disinformation is shared deliberately.
