… Disinformation is the deliberate use of lies to manipulate people, whether to
extract profit or to advance a political agenda. Its unwitting accomplice,
misinformation, is spread by unknowing dupes who repeat lies they believe to be
true. In America today, both forms of falsehood are distorting our perception of
reality. In a democracy, the people need a shared set of facts as a basis to
debate and make decisions that advance and secure their collective interests.
Differences of opinion, and even propaganda, have always existed in the United
States, but now, enemies of democracy are using disinformation to attack our
sovereign right to truthful information, intellectual integrity, and the
exercise of the will of the people. Online disinformation is particularly
insidious because of its immediacy, its capacity to deceive, and its ability to
reach its target.
