Disinformation means information which has been fabricated or distorted in order to advance a hidden agenda. Unless the site is credible you might be reading a lot of disinformation. For example social media ads like Flat Tummy Tea. All the celebrities advertise this product by giving disinformation to the public. They make it seem like they are taking this tea and the tea is responsible for their weight loss. In fact the company is paying them to advertise their product even if they use the product or not. As stated in the textbook”a general rule, always find more reputable additional sources for incred- ible facts and statistics you find on social media posts and obscure Internet “news” sites”.
