Disinformation [1] has been a very difficult issue to resolve since ancient times.
With the rise of social media, the sources of information we got have shifted from traditional TV news, newspapers and magazines to various social media, such as Facebook, Dcard, or PTT in Taiwan. Nowadays, the false information is disseminated less by word of mouth, newspapers, and magazines, and more by such simple means as reposting and sharing on social media. With the help of social networks, mobile devices, and unlimited data phone plans, the spread of false information has become faster and the scope of its influence has increased [3].
Now, let¡¯s show what¡¯s the difference between Fake news, Disinformation, and Misinformation.
Fake news is purposefully crafted, sensational, emotionally charged, misleading or totally fabricated information that mimics the form of mainstream news.
Disinformation is false content that is intentionally disseminated with intent to harm.
Misinformation is false content that is unintentionally or unknowingly disseminated.
