I certainly could, but it feels like that would quickly derail on specifics and that you have a point that you want to make. I'd like to hear it.

Since you are building the app you must know the proper definitions and applied usages. The right ones the wrong ones, the intentions, maybe even the origins of those words.

misinformation = getting the facts wrong ex: The lawyer who cited nonexistent cases from ChatGPT in court

disinformation = intentionally misstating the facts in an effort to mislead ex: "January 6th was a day of peace and love"
