Doppelganger, Overload, Storm-1516, Undercut… Lost in translation when it comes to Russian information manipulation campaigns targeting the EU – and what can actually be done about them?

Building on the Information Manipulation Set (IMS) concept, we applied this framework to four well-documented operations.
EU DisinfoLab welcomes the Commission’s prioritisation of the topic of the protection of democracy, the fight against foreign interference and manipulation (FIMI) and the fight against disinformation. We feel, however, that the promise of a robust shield has been replaced with the reality of a broadly hollow shell.
Mainstream TV and radio they increasingly host misleading claims about climate shaping public perception. JOIN US to understand how climate falsehoods reach millions, why they matter for democracy, and what can be done to counter them.

This updated document tracks how major platforms are handling climate disinformation, in light of evolving policies and the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA).
We continuously monitor disinformation activities across the major platforms (digital and traditional), identify trends and threats, alert activists and researchers to these, and make our resource pool widely available to collaborators.
We develop and maintain an independent European platform on disinformation, providing experts with tools and resources to encourage collaboration. We collect and organise critical information, findings, tools and other resources useful for activists and experts.
We regularly make policy recommendations at the EU level and to Member States based on our own analyses, and help other activists ensure that their advocacy efforts are grounded in sound analyses.
We organise regular events, including an annual conference, webinars, and workshops, which collectively assemble researchers and experts to share experiences and tools, plan collaborations, and keep abreast of critical developments in the field.
