2. In your own words, explain how disinformation and misinformation is associated with
the symbol of silhouette, and how this symbol is associated with the truth?

Both disinformation and misinformation contribute to fake news, resulting in


significant risks to brands and their audiences. And though they both can cause serious
damage to brands and trust, it is important to understand the difference between the two.
The major difference between misinformation and disinformation comes from their
intent. Understanding the intent is essential for brands when navigating online narratives
and deciding if, how, and when to respond.

Disinformation: False information deliberately and often covertly spread in order


to influence public opinion or obscure the truth. The intent to disseminate false
information is especially dangerous as it can seriously damage or disarmament the
credibility of businesses, government agencies and other businesses, and undermine the
beliefs and beliefs of the audience.
Disinformation creators and knowledgeable disinformation act as malicious actors
and do not allow them to be influenced by the facts. Disinformation Intelligence is one of
the few tools that allow brands to fully understand whether a story or actor is developing
disinformation and how / how they should react.

Misinformation: False or misleading information sent incorrectly to influence


public opinion or obscure the truth. Unlike disinformation, the sender of incorrect
information may not know that the information is incorrect. The creators and
disseminations of false alarms believe that they are giving legitimate information and are
generally in good faith. False information is not maliciously disseminated, but it can be as
damaging to a story or brand as false information when it gets out of hand. Social
intelligence tools often allow brands to find false information and take strategic action
before it becomes mainstream.
Every brand is at risk of being the victim of a highly organized disinformation
campaign targeting a particular brand at the one-time false tweet that makes it
mainstream, or at the more extreme of scale. .. It is important for brands to be aware of
false and disinformation incidents and to respond proactively and responsively.

3. Can you explain the relationship of Freedom of Speech on the rampant spread of
disinformation and misinformation in the cyberspace platform?

The actions and expressions discussed under the Disinformation heading are false
information (unintentionally disseminated false or misleading information) and false
alarms (not false but deliberately used strategically). Often duplicates with) and broader
ones. The commonly used term "fake news" (unfortunately, a term often used to refer to
material that is neither fake nor news).

Beyond the actual harm and risk of harm caused by different types of
disinformation, and in some cases a wider variety of problematic information, lack of
conceptual clarity in defining the problem, and much more. In this case, there is a
problem with accurate behavior and content, and from our point of view, it is a central
element of the challenge. If we do not know what disinformation is or disagree, it will be
difficult to deal with it effectively and proportionally. Lack of clarity and inconsistency
undermines our ability to address certain issues accurately, and undermines the
legitimacy of interventions in types of content that some consider being disinformation
and others to be legitimate speech. It also emphasizes the inherently political nature of
deciding what constitutes disinformation and what is not.
