    1. Malinformation is classified as both intentional and harmful to others. Phishing to steal a person’s identity and catfishing to develop a fake romance in order to steal money are prime examples.

      This paragraph emphasizes the harmful nature of mal-information, which is legitimate material that has been turned into a weapon. Mal-information is real information provided with the specific intention of injuring an individual or group, as opposed to misinformation, which is frequently disseminated without intent to deceive, or disinformation, which is false information disseminated with the intent to deceive. This could involve luring someone into a dangerous situation under false pretenses or disclosing personal information to disgrace someone. It is essential to comprehend this distinction in order to battle various forms of damaging information.

    1. We first asked respondents to rate the risk posed by disinformation on a scale that ranged from 0 (no risk) to 10 (extreme risk) in several areas: public health, national security, economic prosperity, relations between the United States and other countries, and U.S. government stability. Across all categories, respondents rate the risk of disinformation above midscale, indicating that disinformation is widely seen to pose a substantial risk. When controlling for demographics, such as race, education, income, age, and gender, there is little statistical or substantive difference between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans are more likely than Democrats to report higher risk to national security, international relations, and economic prosperity. However, the difference is substantively small, thus indicating bipartisan agreement that disinformation poses a risk

      The results of a survey measuring public perceptions of the risk presented by misinformation in several domains are discussed in this paragraph. It demonstrates that, with only minor variances in the perceived amount of risk in particular domains like national security and economic prosperity, Republicans and Democrats alike mostly concur that misinformation poses a serious threat. Despite differences in political opinions, there is a broad understanding of the negative impacts of misinformation, as seen by this bipartisan consensus. Comprehending this agreement is essential to formulating efficacious tactics to counter the proliferation of false and misleading information throughout the community.

    1. Disinformation researchers have long used reverse image searches to catch propagandists who steal photos of other people. In response, disinformants evolved. Leveraging advancements in machine learning, they began using AI-generated profile pictures. The first takedown including AI-generated profile pictures “deployed at scale” took place in December 2019. AI-generated pictures are freely available, and, because they’re not of actual humans, they allow propagandists to evade reverse image searching. In 2020, we’ve seen at least seven takedowns of networks that use these computer-generated profile photos. They include domestic operations, such as a student group linked to the Communist Party of Cuba targeting the Cuban public, and interstate operations, such as a Russia-linked operation targeting the United States.

      This paragraph demonstrates the evolution of sophisticated disinformation strategies throughout time. Disinformation agents can produce phoney social media profiles that look more real and are more difficult to find using conventional verification techniques like reverse image searches by using AI-generated profile photographs. This modification draws attention to the continuous arms race that exists between the people disseminating false information and the platforms and researchers trying to find and shut them down. It is essential to comprehend these strategies in order to create countermeasures that effectively thwart disinformation efforts.
