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.

Duh. I keep hearing about a war in Ethiopia since I was born, approaching 4 decades.

In the meantime, the war in Ukraine is just 5 hours from my home city.

So of course I will be interested in a war between a nation that tried (and succeeded in a way) to conquer my country previously, a conflict that is so close that I could easily drive to the warzone in less than a day, than in an eternal conflict in Ethiopia.

"not get You" Don't forget the packet loss and non-ordered packets.

Because the sequel removed something that some people complained about. The individualistic behaviour and different patterns of different hero types. Now they are all braindead.

Agree. And yet again, there was reason why gaming bloggers and YouTubers like TotalBiscuit got so much popular. Gaming Journalism crashed.

I am not disagreeing with you, I grew up on Level and Score personally.

Hate on Kotaku all you want but they don't make shit up as often as AI does

Oh they do. Take the whole kerfuffle around Kingdom Come.

Yet, there always has been a good journalism, either very quality reviews describing well the game in question, or very funny articles making fun of a game that is otherwise boring or bad.

Telling one person that they can help out by not having kids is rather different from, as the dictionary says

Your definition seems to be quite limited. Many acknowledged genocides would not be treated as such. According to Wikipedia, the UN Genocide Convention is much broader:

Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people[a] in whole or in part. In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group." These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[1][2]

Spreading an ideology according to which one shouldn't have kids, thus preventing births, would fall into this definition.

Even suggesting to a whole group of people not to have kids is not the same as killing them.

You are correct, it is not the same as killing them, but no one was arguing that. Again, limiting genocide to the deliberate killing of individuals would be quite a lenient definition, and various laws that targeted various ethnic minorities would not be considered genocides, despite them being considered as ones and having the same exact effect. Consider forced sterilization. You don't have to forcibly kill anyone, yet probably everyone here would agree that it is a genocide.
