Confronting digital threats to Democracies.
Active
Kampala, Uganda
We are a non-profit Civic Tech research lab working to fight digital threats against truth, democracy, and social unity. We’ve seen across the global south that democratic processes are a toxic mix between deliberate disinformation, unintentional misinformation, existing social rifts, and increasing polarization. With developments in technology, confronting digital threats like deep or cheap fakes to democracies is going to be even harder.
