Overview
Centre for Information Resilience uses open-source intelligence (OSINT) to identify and counter disinformation, document human rights abuses, and curb online harm. It conducts digital investigations that collect social-media data, securely preserve it, verify authenticity, and analyze it to create reports, trend analyses, and data packages for accountability use. The organization combines advanced technology with expert investigators, and openly documents its methods and findings, collaborating with media, governments, and civil-society groups. Its aim is to provide solid, verifiable evidence to counter malign influence operations and support international justice and accountability.”
