GPT4:

Misinformation: This term refers to any information that is false or inaccurate, regardless of intent. The people spreading misinformation may genuinely believe the information to be true and might be unknowingly sharing it. Misinformation can be spread through misunderstandings, mistakes, poor research, or misinterpretation.

Disinformation: This term refers to false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately or knowingly. Disinformation is a type of misinformation that is propagated with the intent to deceive or mislead. It's often used to cause harm, manipulate public opinion, or obscure the truth.

Where does this childlike understanding of the world, where stuff that is wrong must be censored, actually come from?

Why is it such a problem for someone to propose stuff that later turns out to be wrong?

That’s basically what science and engineering is. Should we ban those too?

I don’t remember this demand for censoring being a thing a few years ago. Has is spawned from the movement against “climate deniers”?

Woke movement

But on a serious note - who is censoring who? I don’t even know anymore 🤷‍♂️

What emergency is it going to be this time?

It needs to be invisible, scary, and something only the Cathedral’s pre-ordained experts could possibly know anything about.

My money is on the WEF’s “cyber pandemic”

Cyber pandemic is top contender.
