Yes, even animal health is faced with fake news. #Misinformation is inaccurate information, usually spread without harmful intent, whereas disinformation is untruthful or misleading information, deliberately created and spread to cause harm to target governments, organisations or people. To help Veterinary Services, Aquatic Animal Health Services and Law Enforcement to navigate this issue, we are releasing guidelines to prepare for, detect and respond to disinformation and misinformation. https://lnkd.in/eZwxBnVN
