Whether Covid-19, the war in Ukraine, or any major election that has taken place in recent memory, misinformation has become a scourge at every turn.
Our priority in shining a spotlight on misinformation was to uncover the tactics used by bad actors and understand best practices for how disinformation can be dispelled, and ultimately, stopped.
