We fight disinformation because we fight for democracy
In the face of disinformation, defenders of democracy are often drawn into endless battles against falsehoods. Yet, this is precisely the trap laid by anti-democratic movements. Their aim is not to win the debate, but to waste our time and energy – keeping us busy defending our work instead of advancing it.
Research is a core part of what we do. It involves identifying, uncovering, and explaining disinformation campaigns and networks, using open source investigation techniques (OSINT) and social media network analysis methodologies. We disseminate our findings via our partnerships with the media and leading experts in the field.
