Over six years time the European Union assembled an archive of over twelve thousand "disinformation cases".
Each of these issues brings together a claim, and argument labeling it "disinformation", one or more countries, keywords, a publication date, language, and one or more sources.
Basic data:
- 12000 issues
- 2849 sources (articles or videos on the internet)
- 429 organisations (publishers of articles)
- 94 countries
- 368 keywords
- Several of the issues lack full data, e.g. linked news articles may be missing.
- Duplicates: e.g. organisations being mentioned several times.
What percentage? What can we say on those issues?
