If disinformation would treated as copyrighted content then world would be better place.

Facts are public domain and can't be copyrighted (you can only argue your creative expression of them, ex in a textbook, is yours).

But I suppose that wouldn't apply to disinformation. So your made up bullshit is yours to keep!

Interesting point.

It’s a kind of reframing (or consequence of) the bullshit asymmetry principle.

I was referring to the fact that disinformation is helping platforms to make traffic and attract profits, is not seen from a negative impact on society. Copyright content is causing losses therefore is taken seriously in al sort or verifications.
