* Mal-information: genuine information or opinion shared to cause harm, e.g. hate speech, harassment."
Disinfo .EU: "In the face of disinformation, defenders of democracy are often drawn into endless battles against falsehoods. This is precisely the trap laid by anti-democratic movements. Their aim is not to win the debate, but to waste our time and energy – keeping us busy defending our work instead of advancing it. Rather than playing by their rules, we must focus on protecting our shared rights and strengthening democracy."
