Disinformation, misinformation, and “fake news” are longstanding phenomena that, in the wake of the digital revolution, have become newly politicized and consequential. SSRC's research on the topic.
We are a collaborative and open-source project to develop software that tests for coordinated inauthentic behavior (CIB) in datasets of online activity.
The CIB Mango Tree provides an interactive command line interface that houses various tests for signs of coordinated inauthentic behavior. The tool looks for signs of CIB by analyzing parameters such as post content, username, and timestamp, based on behaviors common to CIB campaigns. This tool is ideal for researchers, journalists, civil society organizations, and digital analysts.
