What's the difference between information and disinformation?

Nothing.

In practice there is no difference between informaton and disinformation to the reciever. Both are ment to inform or educate.

Information initially is not disinformation until until the receiver figures out that the information is false or incorrect. The author of the information dosent even have to know that he/she is disinforming.

Even if the author is delibretly disinforming it is still information to the receiver.

Thank you. You put it much better than I could, in much fewer words.
