Disinformation is dangerous for several reasons:

Distorted image of reality
Disinformation leads to a distorted view of reality. When people receive false or misleading information, they may make decisions based on incorrect assumptions.

Influencing public opinion
Disinformation can influence and divide public opinion. By spreading false information, disagreements can be intensified, and social unrest can be fueled.

Threat to democracy
Disinformation can influence and divide public opinion. By amplifying disagreements, trust in public institutions can be undermined.

Economic impact
False information can have an economic impact by influencing investment decisions, distorting market conditions, or undermining consumer and investor confidence.

Health risks
Disinformation can lead to serious risks, particularly in the area of health. Incorrect medical advice or misleading information about health crises can put people at risk and undermine trust in medical professionals.

Social Impact
Disinformation can also increase social tensions, promote prejudice and affect coexistence in communities. The spread of false information can exacerbate existing conflicts.

Security risks
In certain cases, disinformation can also pose direct security risks. For example, incorrect information about military affairs or international relations could lead to misunderstandings, tensions and conflicts.

It is also important that disinformation is problematic not only through false reports, but above all through the targeted dissemination of this information in order to achieve certain goals. The impact of disinformation can be far-reaching and long-term, which is why combating and educating on disinformation plays an important role in today’s interconnected world.
