00:00:07,307 --> 00:00:09,242
In our hyperconnected world,

2
00:00:09,242 --> 00:00:11,478
Fake news spreads like wildfire,

3
00:00:11,478 --> 00:00:14,481
Influencing opinions often before facts are checked.

4
00:00:15,548 --> 00:00:18,184
Here's a fictional example that shows how easily

5
00:00:18,184 --> 00:00:21,388
information can be distorted willingly or unknowingly:

6
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:24,424
“An employee leaks inflated details

7
00:00:24,424 --> 00:00:27,994
about a military exercise to damage the military's reputation.”

8
00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:32,165
This is malinformation, an exaggerated truth with the intent

9
00:00:32,165 --> 00:00:35,168
to harm.

10
00:00:36,903 --> 00:00:38,938
“An employee fabricates a story

11
00:00:38,938 --> 00:00:42,876
about a non-existent military exercise to mislead and create panic.”

12
00:00:43,643 --> 00:00:45,578
This is disinformation,

13
00:00:45,578 --> 00:00:48,181
false and intended to manipulate, cause damage,

14
00:00:48,181 --> 00:00:51,184
or misguide individuals and organizations.

15
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:56,222
“An employee mistakenly shares outdated details

16
00:00:56,222 --> 00:01:00,026
about a past military exercise confusing the current situation.”

17
00:01:00,794 --> 00:01:02,662
This is misinformation,

18
00:01:02,662 --> 00:01:07,233
the information is false but not intended to cause harm. All this to say,

19
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,171
it is important to be mindful of the information you share and consume.
