Misleading and false information becomes a danger when it has the aim of deliberately deceiving or influencing people and is distributed in a systematic manner. This is known as disinformation. However, it is not easy to identify targeted disinformation as such: Sometimes things are completely made up, sometimes they are deliberately taken out of context, exaggerated or essential information is omitted, creating a false impression – not only by text but also in manipulated pictures or videos (deep fakes).
