You don't know what misinformation is? Basically it's all kinds of lies, intentional or not.

is a lie a lie if it's unintentional?

misinformation != desinformation

Both exist plenty...

Yes it is, you may not be a liar but still spread lies unknowingly.

But i guess at the end of the day it depends on its creator. If it was intentional then its a lie if not then its misinfo

Someone who lies is a liar. I lie unintentionally all too often, despite my best efforts not to (aside from some leg pulling.) Some people can't seem to help lying, and some others do it quite intentionally. We humans aren't very reliable or trustworthy, but we muddle on anyway, and we're not that bad, mostly.

Depends on context. All lies are misinformation. I wouldn't describe unintentional lies as lying though.
