I had seen this, but all the examples correspond to having an actual, external threat as a result of this knowledge. I thought more about the buddhist parable that men don't know when they'll die, because only buddhas are able to live with this information. I guess it's very close to 'malinformation', but this is still related to an external actor manipulating what you know with an external goal, rather than intrinsic to the information.
