Disinformation Early Warning Data Tool (DEWARD)

DEWARD is a citizen-informed data-driven service that provides fact-checking organisations, researchers, and other stakeholders with timely information about emerging and potential disinformation campaigns relating to gender, migration, and climate change.

The fact-checker Maldita.es will partner with the innovative social understanding service, Citibeats to integrate the Maldita.es Disinformation Management System (DMS) – a unique crowdsourced database monitoring disinformation trends – with the Citibeats ethical social understanding platform to create an early warning alerts service. Monitoring social conversations in the Citibeats platform cross-referenced with the DMS citizen disinformation tips, we will provide DMS users with warnings about emerging misinformative content or social conversations that have the potential to produce disinformation. Meanwhile, a disinformation tagging tool will be integrated into the Citibeats platform to visibilise misinformation use in social discussions, and facilitate investigation of disinformation’s role in broader public debates.
