The Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) is comprised of a team of data journalists, researchers, and analysts across five continents. Their mission – To identify, expose, and explain disinformation where and when it occurs; to promote objective truth as a foundation of government for and by people; to protect democratic institutions and norms from those who would seek to undermine them in the digital engagement space.
The DFRLab was founded in 2016 to analyze disinformation surrounding the Russian invasion of Eastern Ukraine and prove Russian presence through open source methods. In the years since, the DFRLab’s research capacity has grown to a global presence looking at hostile state information operations as evidenced by regular citations in top tier media, government testimonies and support, and tech company research partnerships.
