Work started on DISARM in 2017 and was launched in 2019, initially named AMITT, following a series of cross-disciplinary workshops under the MisinfoSec Working Group of the Credibility Coalition.
Since then, the tangible impact of DISARM has been seen through its successful deployment across a number of global agencies and country teams. These include defending democracy, supporting pandemic communication and addressing other disinformation campaigns around the world, by institutions including the European Union, United Nations and NATO. DISARM users also include government teams, such as in the US and Canada, and a number of specific project teams
The set-up is Open Source (with warez available via GITHub) but has clearly been branched into a monetized product for disinfo specialist teams, as no doubt these people like to be known. Flak Checkers as we would quite rightly term them.
IT developers are almost as bad as HR depts for their acronyms, in this case it’s Disinformation Analysis & Risk Management Framework.
Much as they trumpet their independence and how volunteers did a lot of the work (no doubt secondees of various acronyms) the funding/partners section is interesting. Seed funding came from the guy who founded Craigslist, who is a wearer of small hats.
