Исследования
Using data analysis and media monitoring services in multiple languages, EUvsDisinfo identifies, compiles, and exposes disinformation cases originating in pro-Kremlin outlets. These cases (and their disproofs) are collected in the EUvsDisinfo database - the only searchable open-source repository of its kind.
The database is updated every week.
Как мы собираем материал
При отборе работ соблюдается баланс между академической глубиной и авторитетностью, а также широтой взглядов и интересов, выходящих за пределы академических. Мы ввели меры контроля качества, а отбор материалов основывается на пяти приведенных ниже тематических областях.
Эта тематическая область посвящена деятельности основных субъектов угроз, а именно России и Китая, их целям, мотивам и возможностям.
Эта область охватывает методы и инструменты, используемые субъектами угроз для манипулирования информацией: социальные сети, нарративы, новые технологии и т. д.
Эта область сосредотачивается на общественно-политических сферах, на которые направлены действия субъектов угроз: социальная сплоченность, политические процессы, здравоохранение, безопасность и внешняя политика.
Эта тематическая область сосредотачивается на последствиях FIMI (иностранных вмешательств и манипулирования информацией) с точки зрения результатов: когнитивное влияние, социальное и политическое разделение, проекция «мягкой силы» и т. п.
Эта область предусматривает классификацию типов реагирования на FIMI (иностранные вмешательства и манипулирование информацией) со стороны различных заинтересованных сторон: регуляторные, проактивные и саморегуляторные меры, ответные меры и политические рекомендации.
