information laundering
Anglais modifier
Étymologie modifier
- Composé de information et de laundering.
Locution nominale modifier
information laundering \Prononciation ?\
- Blanchiment d'information.
The concept of information laundering is not unlike money laundering. You take money from illegal activities, put it through a process that obscures where it came from, and then it comes out clean, and it can be used for legitimate purposes. When bogus information goes through this process, it appears as legitimate, verified and newsworthy.
