I say yes. This is a little metaphysical, but assume that a datum takes up some space somewhere: a brain cell, part of a hard drive, the configuration of quarks inside a subatomic particle, anything at all. Since the number of atoms in the universe is bounded at about 10^80, then the amount of possible information is some function of that number (huge, but still finite).

In response to the second comment: How about having a discourse more helpful than emphatic labels of "misinformation"? For background on the number of atoms in the universe, see the following link from the National Solar Observatory.

No !
The universe is infinite and the best way to prove is to try to imagine a demarcation line with a sign that says "End of universe "
Since there is no limit to the universe there could be no limits to information.
There is no limit to mis-information either and the above is a prime example of it.
