Whether something is poison is relatively objective. Whether something is disinformation or lies is often a matter of perspective or too difficult to determine.

Whether something is poison is relatively objective. Whether something is disinformation or lies is often a matter of perspective or too difficult to determine. Furthermore, the control of information is about power and manipulation just as disinfo is, which is a can of worms I'm not prepared to write an essay on right now, and does not exist in your poison analogy.

We (FDA) have collectively decided that despite its health benefits we don't like the risks and have therefore banned it. The can of worms is open. Squiggly worms are all over the place.

On the other hand, it often isn't too difficult to determine, as with the various videos floating around that allegedly show the Russia-Ukraine war but are readily identifiable as predating it, showing an entirely different location, and/or having audio dubbed over from another source.
