informicide

When someone communicates in a way that actively reduces the amount of information in existence.

Usually occurs when a person talks for a long time, uses many words, and yet leaves everyone else knowing less than they did before the speaking began.

Unlike misinformation, nothing said has to be wrong; it just erases understanding.

Commonly observed in meetings, presentations, emails, and “quick explanations”.

“Ten slides, thirty minutes, zero clarity. Absolute informicide.”

infosuicide 

Disengaging from the Internet via the deletion of all your publicly available information.

Just yesterday, I took a screenshot of the title page of Dive Into HTML5 to include in a presentation as a highly recommended resource. Now it’s gone. That site, along with all the other “Dive Into…” sites and addictionis.org, is returning an HTTP “410 Gone” message.

Mark’s Github, Google+, Reddit, and Twitter accounts have all been deleted. And attempts to email him have been bounced back.

This is very reminiscent of Why the Lucky Stiff’s infosuicide, and it’s honestly shocking.

infirmicide 

Webster Dictionary defines 'infirm' as - "of poor or deteriorated vitality; especially : feeble from age"

Infirmicide is the deliberate denial of health care for the feeble, for the impoverished, the elderly and disabled.

Donald Trump and most Republican members of the current Congress have attempted to legislate infirmicide of millions of Americans. Two courageous female Republican Senators blocked their latest attempt.

Informinded 

To remind someone in an informative tone.

"You are to be picking me up at 5:30," I informinded him.
