Overview

The initiative to Support Transparency to Combat Misinformation Online advances a clear, accountable approach to online discourse. By combining open data, verifiable research, and accessible resources, this effort aims to illuminate sources, expose bias, and provide communities with trustworthy tools to verify claims. The work centers on transparent methodology, public outputs, and a commitment to inclusivity—so that informed participation is possible for people around the world.

In this context, Transparency to Combat Misinformation Online seeks to empower readers, researchers, educators, and journalists to engage with evidence rather than rhetoric. The project name is a reminder that credible information is a shared responsibility, not a single department’s task. Your support helps sustain open channels for collaboration, learning, and continuous improvement.

Why Your Support Matters

By funding open dashboards, reproducible methodologies, and multilingual resources, you enable educators, students, and independent researchers to verify claims with confidence. Your backing also strengthens community-led verification—where readers participate in checks, discuss findings, and push for clearer disclosures from information sources.
