Misinformation is false or inaccurate information that is shared without the intent to deceive. It can spread through genuine mistakes, misunderstandings, or lack of verification.
Misinformation can still cause harm even without malicious intent by influencing decisions based on false information and eroding trust in accurate sources.
Misinformation isn't always easy to identify—it may contain elements of truth or be shared by well-meaning people who believe it is accurate.
