A guide to developing highly effective rapid response campaigns combating misinformation and disinformation threats, using our unique online threats response model.
The Online Threats Response Model guides teams in combating misinformation and disinformation campaigns, from interpreting the threat to taking effective action. It is intended to be used collaboratively, providing teams with a common language to assess and respond to threats.
