A standardized, CVE-inspired database for tracking disinformation campaigns. Unique IDs. Verified sources. Global coordination. The fight gets organized.
Disinformation research is scattered across academia, journalism, and civil society. There's no central system to track and reference known campaigns.
When researchers discover the same campaign independently, they can't easily connect their findings. We need a CVE-style identifier system.
Platforms, researchers, and fact-checkers need a shared language to coordinate responses to disinformation threats in real-time.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database revolutionized cybersecurity by creating unique identifiers for security flaws, enabling coordinated disclosure and patching.
A parallel system for disinformation: unique identifiers, standardized metadata, verified sources, and coordinated response—bringing the same rigor to information security.
DisinfoCVE creates a centralized, authoritative database where disinformation campaigns receive unique identifiers, comprehensive documentation, and source verification. By standardizing how we catalog and reference disinformation, we enable researchers, platforms, and policymakers to coordinate more effectively.
Each disinformation campaign gets a unique ID for universal reference and tracking
Consistent documentation of actors, narratives, targets, and techniques
Multiple independent verifications before campaigns are added to the database
Machine-readable data for researchers, platforms, and automated detection systems
Tracking disinformation campaigns across languages, platforms, and borders
Open contribution model with expert review, similar to CVE's coordination model
We're building the infrastructure to make this vision a reality.
The fight against disinformation is about to get more organized.
