Misinformation is incorrect, inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or false information shared without deliberate malicious intent. It often results from mistakes, misunderstanding, limited knowledge, changing scientific understanding, or unverified reports during developing events. Unlike disinformation, misinformation is not necessarily created or spread with the intention to deceive, although it can still influence beliefs, behavior, public debate, health decisions, and trust in institutions. Misinformation differs from related concepts such as disinformation and malinformation. Disinformation is intentionally fabricated or manipulated information spread to mislead, while malinformation is genuine information shared or used to cause harm. The distinction can be difficult to determine because the intent of the person sharing information may be unclear, and misinformation can continue affecting memory and behavior even after it has been corrected or retracted.
