Common falsehoods Misinformation False information that an individual or group may consume or share that the individual or group does not know is false. Disinformation False information that is created for the purpose of misleading others by an individual or group who know the information is false. Malinformation False information that is shared with a distinct intent to cause harm and to maintain the status quo

I like to do my own fact checking. Being skeptical is a smart thing, imo.

YMMV

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction Colossal Biosciences claims three pups born recently are dire wolves, but they are actually grey wolves with genetic edits intended to make them resemble the lost species

Just an FYI as seeing this across many platforms...
