Pretty sure it talks about misinformation, which is not factually accurate information.

So, nobody decides.
It’s not factually accurate, so it’s misinformation.
It’s like asking “when something is covered in water, who decides that it is wet?”. The majority of the time, the item is going to be wet.
Disinformation is deliberate misinformation.
Proving something is misinformation is likely trivial compared to proving a malicious or deliberate intent behind presenting the misinformation (thus making it disinformation).

But disinformation is just pointing the finger at someone over misinformation.
Clearing up misinformation will hamper any disinformation campaign.
Things are usually not as black and white. People who complain about misinformation/disinformation are usually guilty of it themselves.
Oh, how convenient for you!
