To start off, I will be discussing what disinformation is and how people are creating it and begins to spread. Disinformation is false information that is intended to mislead. This can cause harm and is intentionally dishonest. Disinformation then turns into misinformation. This is why it has become hard to find a source you can trust and count on. It is so easy for the public to fall for the false information and spread it. According to this source I came across It is similar to a rumor. It says, "By targeting those that would be the most interested in the false information, actors can spread disinformation quickly." I found this really interesting because I could see it as being similar to a rumor that spreads fast.
