It is not accurate to claim that it is definitively used inappropriately in political discourse to discredit unfavorable coverage. undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 20:3820:38, 23 June 2026 RubyEqualityAction talk contribs 78,606 bytes −32 The addition of the word “some” increases precision by avoiding the implication of a unanimous scholarly position. The term continues to be used in academic literature, alongside calls for clearer and more consistent definitions, rather than for its complete avoidance: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21670811.2017.1360143 undo Tag: Visual edit

• curprev 19:0019:00, 11 January 2026 J.Wilson2005 talk contribs 76,895 bytes +5,553 I've changed the title of the table “Activities that operationalize disinformation campaigns online” to the title it is given in the source, as misinformation and disinformation are closely linked. Sections on the way disinformation can spread when there is no credible information on a topic (eg the Southport stabbings) and on the role of disinformation in the 2016 Brexit referendum have also been added as I felt both were relevant and would make the article a little bit more global. undo Tag: Visual edit
