Hiding or depriving individuals or groups of people of facts to keep them ignorant and powerless. Individuals and organizations do that to protect themselves, to monopolize power, or to more easily take advantage of others.
I think it's safe to say that at some point and to varying degrees everybody practices information deprivation against those they interact with in order to trick them.

Get the information deprivation mug.Derived from an article in a very famous newspaper that described a practise as "informally formalized." To formalize a practise at the working level, without official sanction.

3. Undermining Advertising.
1. Many people don't wish society to continue as it is, but, having no physical weapons or a desire to use them, resort to informationism to effect change.
2. It's good informationism to keep pointing out that there were no links between the former Iraqi Dictator, Saddam Hussein and Al-Quaeda, or WMD in Iraq.
3. In a world where truth is defined by those who can afford to spend the most money to have their version of it advertised widely, we must rely on informationism to present a balanced view.
