Malinformation

Malinformation is a term coined [1] by media researcher Hossein Derakhshan in a Council of Europe co-authored report, titled 'Information Disorder' [2] and later adopted by UNESCO.[3] It refers to a piece of information that is true and factual, but it is intentionally conveyed in order to inflict actual harm or cause the imminent threat of actual harm on a person, organisation or country.[4][5][6]

Malinformation usually entails a change of context, such as time, space, or privacy.[7]
