I am thinking that using "disinformation" to mean "does not agree with the establishment" is a very bad way to use the term, and also very bad for the establishment longer term.
I think one should use the term "disinformation" as something related to "information", which is about the passing of strings of bits from one computer to another without loss. Lightweight additions to such a theory that would allow one for example to express who said what and for whom the message was intended, when it was written, etc is something we in computer science could tackle without requiring us to take over the job of law courts or debating chambers. We software engineers need to provide the framework so that truth claims can be made, the agent making them can make themselves known (anonymous communication should also be allowed) and their relation to legal institutions can be made visible to people out there. This would allow people to understand the legal weight of a claim: is it just some person expressing an opinion, or are they making themselves legally available to criticism if something goes wrong?
