# Filtering & Labeling Email

## Engaging of the Readings

#### Misinformation and disinformation and malinformation oh my! 
With such vast information available on the internet, it is of the utmost importance to really understand where it is coming from and what it was intended to accomplish. [Wardle](https://firstdraftnews.org/long-form-article/understanding-information-disorder/) describes three types of disordered information: misinformation, disinformation and malinformation.
- These three can be understood differently in their relation to falseness and intent to harm, as shown by this chart.

Additionally, not only does consuming information lay responsibility on the producer, but also on the consumer. Many times we fall into our own filter bubbles which, as [FS](https://fs.blog/filter-bubbles/) wrote, "can cause cognitive biases and shortcuts to manifest, amplifying their negative impact on our ability to think in a logical and critical manner." Our intentions matter just as much as the producer's intentions. If we do not actively seek out different information, as [Boyd](https://points.datasociety.net/did-media-literacy-backfire-7418c084d88d#.d46kox6e1) alluded to in her article, we simply believe in the information blindly given to us. This does not make us media literate. In fact, this is quite possibly one of the worst ways to consume information.

The second was for my emails from Spotify to go into a new folder called Spotify:
