DE-CONSPIRATOR is a Horizon Europe project that studies Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI).
关于我们
DE-CONSPIRATOR is a Research and Innovation Action project funded by the new Horizon Europe Programme (HEurope) with Grant Agreement № 101132671. It will last thirty-six (36) months and have a budget of approximately three million euros. The project aims to examine and analyse the sophisticated information suppression tactics employed by foreign actors, notably Russia and China, within the European Union (EU) and its partner countries (PCs). Specifically, DE-CONSPIRATOR will analyse the tactics of those who initiate FIMI, map out how FIMI spreads within the EU and Partner Countries (PC) through local networks, develop a comprehensive, multilingual database of FIMI incidents, investigate the factors that contribute to the success of FIMI campaigns, and assess the effectiveness of existing legal and regulatory frameworks in the EU and nationally against FIMI. Through the research outcomes, DE-CONSPIRATOR is expected to improve the understanding of how to safeguard fundamental rights against the misuse of information, shed light on how authoritarian regimes use information suppression, and evaluate the societal impacts of such actions. Additionally, the project intends to develop policy guidelines, tools, and strategies to identify and counteract information suppression attempts in the EU and beyond.

Our database has now exposed over 18,000 examples of pro-Kremlin #disinformation. This figure is not just a statistic-it’s a stark reminder of the persistent #FIMI threat. We remain vigilant & dedicated to unmasking Kremlin manipulations. #DontBeDeceived https://lnkd.in/eXGVTCTc

Last week, I was in Singapore to speak about our ongoing research at DE-CONSPIRATOR for the Distortions, Rumours, Untruths, Misinformation and Smears (#DRUMS2024) conference, organized by RSIS | S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies of the Nanyang Technological University Singapore. (https://lnkd.in/gD9JXWyb) This was a very well-planned and structured event and I learned a lot on FIMI dynamics in southeast Asia from incredible experts and speakers. My three main takeaways: - In Europe, the focus is on weakening alliances like the EU and NATO, undermining democratic processes, and exploiting divisive issues like migration and energy dependency. In Southeast Asia, the focus is on asserting influence in territorial disputes (e.g., South China Sea), promoting the Belt and Road Initiative, and supporting authoritarian regimes to secure strategic and economic interests. - In Europe, disinformation relies heavily on global social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter), state-controlled outlets (e.g., RT, Sputnik), and sophisticated cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. In Southeast Asia, localized platforms like WeChat, Line, and TikTok dominate, with influence campaigns tailored to specific cultural and ethnic contexts, often amplified through grassroots propaganda. - Europe benefits from stronger regional coordination, such as the EU’s East StratCom Task Force, and a well-developed civil society that counters disinformation despite vulnerabilities in newer democracies. In Southeast Asia, responses vary widely; some countries (e.g., Singapore) possess the highest information security standards and use strict anti-fake news laws, while others lack robust frameworks, leaving them more vulnerable to manipulation due to state-controlled media and lower public awareness. Also in Southeast Asia, the distribution of FIMI experts are unevenly distributed across nations, with some nations having a very high concentration of top experts, whereas some others have little or no interest in countering FIMI; compared to the EU where all member and associated countries have more or less quite strong FIMI and fact-checking expertise. Overall, this was one of the truly international FIMI events that combined a global array of project leaders and scholars focusing on these dynamics across a wide range of countries, and really helped me contextualize our ongoing work on European FIMI dynamics. Cross-regional research collaborations between the EU and SE Asia work like magic, to be honest.

The Kremlin's at it again: ?? Sputnik = a #propaganda weapon, not a credible source ??? Post-WWII Germany’s unity = Allied effort, not Stalin’s 'grace' ????♀? Blaming Ukraine = the Kremlin’s favorite lie #DontBeDeceived - get the facts with our #DisinfoReview ???? https://lnkd.in/dPr6dZzw

How has NATO's conceptualization of information as a domain of warfare changed over the last 75 years, and where does the current EU information manipulation and interference framework fit within its evolution? Thanks to Istanbul Policy Center | Istanbul Politikalar Merkezi for inviting me and giving me an opportunity to introduce DE-CONSPIRATOR to the NATO information integrity debate. https://lnkd.in/dB-Z455J

?? New EEAS OSINT Guidelines for Identity-Based Disinformation/FIMI (IBD) The EEAS Stratcom, in collaboration with EU DisinfoLab, has launched the first-ever OSINT guidelines designed to support FIMI analysts and individuals affected by Identity-Based Disinformation (IBD) in detecting and documenting these attacks. https://lnkd.in/dCxQ5JrW ?? Why This Toolkit Matters: These guidelines are a powerful resource for civil society organizations, equipping them to identify IBD/FIMI cases and mobilize collective responses to counter this threat effectively. ?? What’s Inside? > Step-by-step instructions on designing an OSINT investigation > A wide range of Open Source Tools and Methods to collect data on IBD/FIMI attacks > A curated collection of over 80 OSINT tools and repositories available to all users, making it easier to document IBD/FIMI cases. ?? Join us on Thursday, November 14th, for the official presentation of this essential toolkit. https://lnkd.in/dCFcwYAz Thanks Raquel Miguel Serrano and Maria Giovanna Sessa, PhD for your great work!
