WHY NOW?
The internet has given people access to new tools and platforms to build communities – and new capabilities to speak truth to power.
Yet these same spaces are being abused to spread division, fear and mistrust – and sow the seeds of disinformation.
It is time to disrupt, defund and down-rank disinformation sites.
The Global Disinformation Index provides advertisers, ad tech companies and platforms with trusted, non-partisan and independent ratings to assess a site’s disinformation risks.

THE CHALLENGE
Disinformation is harmful both online and offline.
The people who spread disinformation have various motives. One of them is financial gain.
This is where the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) focuses its efforts.
To reduce disinformation, we need to remove its financial incentives.
Brands unwittingly provide an estimated quarter billion dollars annually to disinformation sites through online ads served on them.
GDI’s risk ratings provide brands and ad tech companies with a trusted and neutral assessment to use for directing their ad spend.
OUR VISION
We envision a world free of disinformation and its harmful effects.
OUR MISSION
