Malinformation 

Malinformation is correct information, the sharing of which is censored because it disrupts a narrative it exposes as incorrect.
"Malinformation is when you're correct in a way that causes distress of the government." Source: Bret Weinstein (Dark Horse podcast) DbhcufMKRCQ?t=257 on YT

The California Department of Public Health labeled as malinformation a vital research article later censored by SocArXiv, in an outrageous and extraordinarily corrupt act of censorship, due to public pressure, although the only factor in making such a decision should be the quality of the research. DOI 10.1136/bmj.o453 . Circular logic is used to damn the research: It finds ivermectin to be effective therefore the paper is either very poor quality or else deliberately false and misleading, because although most research shows it to be effective, the research the authorities ignored or discarded the bulk of it and even discarded their own findings based on their meta-analyses of the studies they considered the best, to avoid making a finding.

Malinformation is fake information to make a scheme sound more believable. Often in the form of testimonials backing up Pyramid-like schemes. These scams tend to target people who suffer from chronic misinformedness.
Example from www.autocashforlife.com:

Etc. etc. false claims, testimonials, only $50, you'll be making money in less then two hours...this page is full of malinformation.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
