I think you're describing misinformation. Disinformation makes people mistrust their news sources, so that any source of information might be as trustworthy as any other. That's why they would be susceptible to fake discount notifications like the ones described in the paper.
- Mirioron 6y ago>Disinformation makes people mistrust their news sources But the news sources themselves make you distrust them. I doubt that they are actively trying to make their readers mistrust them, but they seem to get that end result by simply engaging in politics.
- wwwwwwwww 6y ago> Disinformation makes people mistrust their news sources I began distrusting the media in my country when the most reputable (publicly financed) news shows increasingly contradicted their own reporting. One day they reported "a", because they could spin it in favor of their SJW agenda, and the next day the reported the complete opposite about the same topic for the same reason. Sometimes it even happened within the same show. So yes, you are correct, disinformation made me distrust my news sources. But it was the obvious disinformation spread by those very news sources.
