Misinformation is a subjective term. Something I consider real may be considered misinformation to someone else

I think there are two ways to use “misinformation” one is maliciously while the other is incidentally.
Misinformation with an intent to mislead is pretty obviously in the wrong.
Misunderstanding a situation and conveying the incorrect information is pretty clearly okay.
I think a lot of the arguments around misinformation/disinformation stems from this confusion.

Are you maybe thinking of DISinformation?
Misinformation is objective: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misinformation
When you start getting deeper than that, you have to start looking at things like justified true belief.
