Noun[edit]
pseudoinformation (uncountable)
- (rare) Synonym of misinformation
- 2003 June, Miroslav Tudjman and Nives Mikelic, “Information Science: Science about Information, Misinformation and Disinformation”, in Informing Science[1]:
- Misinformation (pogrešna obavijest) is a would-be information not necessarily given with a purpose to mislead the user. Synonyms pseudoinformation and quasiinformation could also be used for the same purpose.
- 2017 March 17, Bane Shaheen, “Truth is drowning — but we can still save it”, in Stronger Content[2]:
- So while there may not necessarily be a limited amount of truth in the world, it effectively becomes limited in terms of proportions, drowned by a rising tide of pseudoinformation that is designed to do nothing but help the entity that created it keep existing.
