No, not completely subjective. This is an appeal to an absolute, binary criterion. There is a direct line of causality between the intent to disinform, the impact of the false message on the receiver, and the conclusions drawn by the receiver. The first two factors are not subjective, the third is only partly so.
What is the finality of the last sentence? That one should not combat disinformation?
I think the writer means "censors" and not "sensors".
Thank you,

  the concept of disinformation is completely subjective. 
 
  According to Shannon, lies (noise) this is irrelevant information. Relevance is compliance with the goals of the participants in the information transfer process. Any message is relevant (truthful) if it corresponds to the picture of the world of the sender and recipient of the message. For example, a message about the existence of demons is truthful information for a believer in demons, but the same message is disinformation for an atheist.
  Declarations on combating disinformation are a reason for the introduction of stricter censorship by EU and EC officials. Obviously, if this project is implemented, special sensors will be assigned that will determine the level of reliability of messages and punish messages that contradict the official picture of the world from EC officials

    Dear All,
    
 Europa declares that fighting disinformation will be legal obligation.
    
 Let me ask some questions:
    
 - Who is able to recognize misinformation vs. information?
    
 - When misinformation is recognized, who is able to establish an
    
 intentional character, so that it is disinformation indeed?
    
 - Who will be in charge to do the tasks above?
    
 Well, in some simple cases disinformation can be recognized.
    
 Just curious, would we all agree when such of these cases is stated to
    
 have occurred?
    
 Better would be to massively educate people rather than to censor.
    
 All my best.
    
 Michel. retired scientist.
