A False Flag is when someone calls attention to a "Red Flag" in an effort to manipulate opinions at to what is right and wrong. The false (red) flag is used when people are already biased to a similar opinion as the one presenting the information, or the misinformation is used to try to manipulate people into being newly biased. A false flag is a tool often used when politicising a topic. It often makes situations more difficult instead of making situations easy because its harder to know what to believe.
