Investigations

The Problem: Rigorous, independent investigations into digital threats and influence operations on social media platforms are vital for exposure, accountability and effective mitigation. However, over the years our investigations are being challenged by social media data paywalls, threat actor obfuscation tactics, and capacity constraints.

Our Strategy

We are building comprehensive investigative capabilities focused on regional digital threats. Our open-source and threat intelligence gathering leverages innovative methods for evidence collection and verification. Investigation findings fuel our solutions and advocacy programs while building a public record.

 

We’re working on several open source investigations around topics of geolocation of human rights abuses, attribution to threat actors behind targeted disinformation of journalists and activists in the global south.
