According to the draft bill, misinformation is defined as unintentionally false, misleading or deceptive content.
It also defines disinformation as misinformation intentionally disseminated to cause serious harm.

Even in it's draft state, the bill is diferentiating between the spurious and actively harmful stuff like "if you inject bleach you can cure covid. I'm a doctor, trust me bro."
