.THE WORDS disinformation as well as false information are actually typically used interchangeably. However there is a subtle variation in their meaning. Disinformation is when inaccurate info is actually dispersed along with the intent to trick, usually as component of a co-ordinated initiative. False information is actually when misleading information is by accident spread, for example through duplicating a rumour to a friend or reposting an unverified claim on a social-media platform.
