Satire is the use of humor or exaggeration to critique or mock a person, organization or policy.

False context is misinformation that takes an image, quote or other piece of content and puts it into a new, false context to change its meaning.

Imposter content uses a well-known name, brand or logo to fool people into believing that it is authentic content. 

Manipulated content is a type of misinformation in which something is altered from the original.

Fabricated content is misinformation that is entirely made up and designed to deceive you into thinking that it’s real.
