Project HybriD funded: Real-time Detection of Hybrid Disinformation Campaigns in Online Media
Successful application in the Agile Research Call of the BMBF
Aspects of disinformation have been in the focus of research and public discussion for quite some time. Incidents such as the manipulation of journalistic forums during the Ukraine conflict, the suspected influence of disinformation in the Brexit referendum, or the use of automated communication in the 2016 U.S. election have been discussed in public and by politicians. This leads to the central question: How do the disinformation campaigns behind all these incidents work?
