    Disinformation is technically a type of information. Same a misinformation.

    Those have both increased, so all types of information have pretty much increased.

      Semantically yes but practically no if the goal is to know truth. People know a lot of bullshit but technically they believe bullshit but language is imprecise.

        I mean it isn’t correct information. I know that in everyday conversation “information” means “actually factual information” or “correct information” or whatever to that extent.

        But like technically false information is still a type of information. I’m just pedantic, don’t mind me. I’m not arguing anything and I hate the fuckers who believe in all that pseudosciencebullshit and think there are “alternate facts”. No. Objective reality doesn’t contradict itself lol. We may sometimes think it does, but it doesn’t.
