We are a team of software engineers, designers and (dis)information experts, using technology to build smart/digital solutions that tackle disinformation, fake news and online propaganda.
We are based in Kyiv, Ukraine - one of the leading centres of expertise in understanding disinfo techniques, sources and solutions.
In the past few years, Kyiv has been home to a number of professional and well-run projects and developed a wealth of experience in this area. In addition to this, the local IT, software and digital design industries are booming, giving Ukraine an impressive technical edge that can be harnessed for good causes.
“A LIE WILL GO ROUND THE WORLD WHILE TRUTH IS PULLING ITS BOOTS ON.”
In a world of 24-hour media, social media, rolling news, and ubiquitous smartphones – lies and disinformation spread quickly. Fake news, propaganda and state-sponsored disinformation can inflict great harm on nations and communities.
Today, perhaps more than ever, the truth needs to ‘pull its boots on’ and citizens need help to distinguish the lies from the truth.
So, by linking software engineers, designers and (dis)information experts, we develop modern and smart solutions to this combat this age-old problem.
