Misinformation and Disinformation Research

Assess the Information Environment

Today’s most persistent and far-reaching global issues are borne from conversations taking place online.

The internet is conducive to deceptive communication operations. From public health misinformation to political disinformation, and general mistrust of authority, efforts to sway public opinion are rampant.

Mainstream social networks, while often the most obvious culprit in disinformation enablement, are only one piece of the puzzle. Fringe social networks and alt-tech discussion forums are gaining traction as people seek alternative information. 

Monitoring public social data helps the intelligence community and national security teams better track and understand emerging malign influence and disinformation tactics. A variety of sources are relevant for analysis as malign influence actors scale their efforts, including:

  • Mainstream news and social media
  • Fringe news and social media where content is less regulated
  • International social media widely used in foreign information environments

"With Echosec, we know we’re getting access to the widest range of relevant fringe networks possible."
