What is fake news and how to define disinformation?
The biggest Tech companies in the world Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon and Governments of many countries have been incapable of solving this problem of fake news. So, how can disinformation, fake news be solved to the every roots successfully?
Fake News and Disinformation Definition

Fake News and Disinformation are one of the hottest topics on internet currently. They are also the serious problem that has been badly affecting people all over the world and your life, more or less, has been influenced. If you are an American, this is so clear.

 

If you are asking yourself or someone these questions and desire to know answers for these:

  • What is Fake News? What is disinformation definition?
  • Why are people (especially Tech giants Facebook, Google, Twitter and Governments in the world) trying hard to combat them? Can they win the war against fake news and disinformation?
  • What do disinformation and fake news cause bad consequences that harmed people’ lives and society? If this serious problem can’t be solved successfully, what will happen in the future?
  • How to solve fake news, disinformation to the every roots? Who can do this?

 

Then, my following article will make it easy for you to understand their meanings

A Real and More Complicated Story:

According to Vox.com {“the actual art of “fake news” was pioneered by the Russians in the 1990s and 2000s, and they used it to try to help Trump win the 2016 presidential election.”}

 

“Later in the 21st century, as social media gained prominence, Russia began to use popular platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to spread disinformation. Facebook believes that as many as 126 million users have seen content from Russian disinformation campaigns on its platform. Twitter has said that it has found 36,000 Russian bots spreading tweets related to the 2016 American election. Elsewhere, Russia has used social media to destabilize former soviet states such as Ukraine and other western nations such as France and Spain.” reported Wiki

So, I hope you now can understand the terms of disinformation and fake news.

 

Just remember the special point:

 

  • Disinformation: false information that is intended to mislead (especially relating to politics, propaganda)
  • Fake news: news or information is fake, false, not true. People who spread fake news want to achieve many different targets (relating to politics/finance/relationship/business competition/stock market/or they spread fake news just for fun [e.g. April 1], etc…)

 

Both fake news and disinformatin cause public harm, badly affect humans’ lives at long last.

 

Disinformation And Misinformation

 

Another term that makes people confused is misinformation. What is a difference between misinformation and disinformation?

 

“Whereas both misinformation and disinformation refer to information that is incorrect or misleading, disinformation much more strongly indicates that the information is made so and spread in order to deceive people.”

 

To make it easy to distinguish between two of these terms, you just need to remember:

 

  1. Disinformation: false/inaccurate information given intentionally
  2. Misinformation: false/inaccurate information given unintentionally/carelessly

 

Examples Of Disinformation vs Misinformation

  • There is a dangerous rumour “A hungry lion escapes from cage”
  • The fact is: “A hungry lion escapes from cage” is false/fake news
  • The person A doesn’t know the fact and believes “A hungry lion escapes from cage” is real. Then he spreads this misinformation on Facebook to warn others.
  • B does know the fact “A hungry lion escapes from cage” is not true, but he spreads this disinformation on Facebook to terrify others and make fun of them.

 

So, the difference between misinformation and disinformation is intention

 

At long last, a correct solution for this most serious problem is the most important thing (whatever their definitions are)

The internet is the ocean of information where is now a huge mess of real news and fake ones. Fake/false news, disinformation, misinformation, rumours have caused damages, losses and they harm humans' lives.

 

I'm sure, more or less, you have ever heard about the following facts:


The rise of 'fake news', manipulation and 'alternative facts' - BBC Newsnight

How do we discern what is true and what is ‘fake news’ in the fast-paced age of social media and technology?

Facebook, Google, Twitter get grilled on Russian ads

"Representatives for Facebook, Twitter, and Google testified in front of the Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday about Russian propaganda that appeared on each of the platforms during and after the 2016 election."

Lynching in Jharkhand Over Social Media Rumours

"7 persons were lynched, four of them Muslims, in two separate incidents. The violence was triggered by the circulation of WhatsApp messages of "child lifters" being active in the Kolkhan area of Jamshedpur. Apart from the lynching, the region also saw other communal clashes over the child kidnapping rumours."

Unilever tells Facebook and Google to clean up online 'swamp' or it will pull ads

{"Keith Weed, the company's chief marketing officer, described online networks as "a swamp" mired with fabricated news, racist, sexist and extremist content in a speech Monday at the Interactive Advertising Bureau's annual leadership meeting in Palm Desert, Calif."} - {"Fake news, racism, sexism, terrorists spreading messages of hate, toxic content directed at children — parts of the internet we have ended up with is a million miles from where we thought it would take us," Weed said in his prepared remarks}

Germany has approved €50 million fake news fines that could target Facebook and Google

German federal parliament

German federal parliament

"Social networks that fail to remove defamatory “fake news”, hate speech and illegal content could be fined up to €50m (£44m) under new proposals by the German government."

YouTube and Facebook promoted a right-wing conspiracy about a Florida shooting survivor

German federal parliament

"YouTube promoted a video featuring a conspiracy theory claiming that one of the survivors of the school shooting last week in Parkland, Florida, is a paid actor.

...Facebook encountered similar problems with conspiracy videos Wednesday. Hogg was one of the top topics in Facebook's Trending module. Clicking his name brought up several videos and articles promoting the conspiracy that he's a paid actor."

Huge Tech companies such as Facebook, Google, Twitter are “in the fight against foreign influence in local political systems, battling campaigns like the Russian-state backed one that targeted Americans ahead of the last US presidential election, British voters before the Brexit vote, or the fake news that circulated in Kenya before its general election. The US government has failed so far to make any meaningful progress in that fight, and the 2018 midterm congressional elections may be influenced as well.” (Quarzt)

Not only giant Tech companies, The United States but the world all is trying hard to fight against disinformation, misinformation, fake news that are being spread all over the internet as well.

However, there has NOT still been a solution that can resolve the fake news problem completely/to the every roots

tech-companies-no-solutions-now

(Quarzt.com - Feb 8 2018)

“People are really grasping at straws because no one has the solution here” for how to tackle fake news, Botsman said. Technology companies are hoping to avoid more regulations like the ones cropping up in Europe, she said. This summer Germany passed a law that will fine social media companies €50 million for failing to quickly remove hate speech on their platforms."

At the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos on Jan 2018, fake news, misinformation, bots, and propaganda were hot topics. Quartz then aksed some attendees for the existing state of the fake news problem.

{“You’d have to take a stand about factuality,” said Timothy Snyder, a Yale history professor and author of On Tyranny, who attended the Davos conference and said he heard second-hand about Google executives’ fake news discussions. You can’t use a “protocol or an algorithm,” he said, you need “human beings who take responsibility for things.”}

{Can, and should, Google (which some critics say is already too powerful) play the role of filtering out what’s true and what is not?


“Of course it can’t,” said Rachel Botsman, a lecturer at Oxford’s Saïd Business School and author of Who Can You Trust, who attended the Davos conference. And, she added, “we don’t want it to.”}

The problem of fake/false news has badly affected people's lives, especially countries' politics (like US Politics). The same is for Facebook, Google, Twitter and others. That's why US Government and giant Tech companies are trying hard to solve the problem.

Certainly, the problem will NOT stop and its consequences will get worse if National Governments and other organizations can't deal with it effectively.

Fake news, disinformation, misinformation are ruining people's lives deeply. They can cause division, hate speech and one of the worst things, inhumane discrimination. News that are fake or false makes people become hostile towards others because of untrue things.
