My concern is more the possibility of defining disinformation in some politically conveniemt manner.

Its already happening. In fact, looking at it from a wider perspective than nowadays teenagers are often able to, the modern "fight against disinformation" is just fighting propaganda with one's own propaganda. And if you read the Hittite and Egyptian descriptions of Battle of Khadesh, it isn't really a new thing either.

Its always happening, but the tools available evolve and the level of support fluctuates. We have a lot of new tools right now and what seems like a disturbing level of support.

People would rather be blissfully ignorant than know the dirty truth
