Abstract
In this paper, I consider Brandon Carey’s account of misinformation and raise two counterexamples against it. I argue that while Carey’s account is an improvement on prior accounts of misinformation, it still fails. While I am unsure how exactly to rectify this failure, I argue that a correct account of misinformation needs both a tighter connection between misinformation and its negative epistemic impacts and some limiting condition concerning the venue/context in which misinformation is presented.
