About
Disinformation is intentionally false or misleading information spread deliberately to undermine other parties, from nations to political campaigns to individuals. It undermines public discourse and provides an opportunity for malign actors to manipulate their audiences, a particularly salient threat in an open society like ours. Disinformation divides us and fosters the development of information bubbles, separate and incompatible realities that impact even the daily functions of our society.
With new technologies enabling an unprecedented information war on a massive scale, we seek to better understand the motives behind those who engage in spreading disinformation, to familiarize ourselves with their tools and strategies, and to provide a roadmap for what the future might hold.
