About Our Client
Global Disinformation Index
The Global Disinformation Index was born out of a need for data, specifically the need for transparent, independent, and neutral disinformation risk ratings across the open web.
GDI’s founders recognised early on that in order to disrupt the business model of disinformation, commercial companies, researchers and policy makers alike need access to independent ratings of news sites’ disinformation risk.
GDI was established in 2018 as a not-for-profit entity built on the three pillars of neutrality, independence and transparency.
