In the DSA ‘risk management framework’ study dated August ⁠24, released August ⁠30, the EU executive reminded of its specious distinction between “misformation” and “disinformation” (page 50): “As opposed to misinformation, disinformation is defined by the speaker's intention” (it can be false content or truthful, but misleading, shared with a malign intent).
