Who decides what is "misinformation"?
This seems to be the latest buzzword for dealing with dissident opinion.
They define this:
“The influencers presented their claims as exposés of industry deceit, despite offering no verifiable evidence to support them.”
So, misinformation = make claim with no supporting, verifiable evidence. Seems like a pretty standard, neutral definition.
That would apply to some things and not others.
A heck of a lot of things in life are subjective. Even respectable academia can have multiple views on some things, in fact it's bad if they don't.
