Abstract
The framework for identifying information disorders by Claire and Hossein based on two references: 'falness' and 'intent to harm' helps to distinguish three types of disinformation: misinformation, disinformation and malinformation. This framework mainly considers information disorder to be a problem of press news, but does not place it in the common vision of loss of control over the entire process of information production – information distribution – information consumption in the landscape of the modern information society. The article proposes to use a third reference to identify information disorder. It is reference 'spreading', an important agent that amplifies false information in the community, especially when it is combined with intent to harm. Whether information spreads on the information environment or not will determine the extent of its impact on the community. If not spread, it seems that information will become harmless even if it is malicious or false. The results of applying 3 references to identify information disorder help distinguish 8 types, including: Terrorist information, Menace information, Confusing information, Dormant information, Disaster information, High-risk information, Admitted information, Ignored information. Only some of these 8 types are capable of disrupting information.
