Information Tracer can identify complex online influence campaigns. We work with research institutions and government agencies to monitor narratives across global platforms.
Check out the 2024 US Election Dashboard we deployed.
We collaborate with Tortoise Media to investigate cyberbullying operations targeting Amber Heard, actress and human rights activist. Using data collected by Information Tracer, we gathered evidence of large scale pro-Johnny-Depp influence operations. Our work is featured on Podcast Who Trolled Amber.
Information Tracer integrates Generative-AI to profile each online user, estimate its geo-location, account type and sentiment. Our visualization allows users to quickly spot a suspicious pattern and drill down to identify individual account. For more detail, please check out our work on Detecting Anti-Ukraine Bots On X.
"This tool not only aids in countering false narratives but also supports the fundamental principles of ethical journalism in the digital age, making it a critical asset for Rolli's mission to empower journalists with the resources and research of a state-of-the-art newsroom."

"Information Tracer is the combination of understanding how the narrative and misinformation move from one platform to another and how it spreads. It's complex because the dynamics are very different."
Dr. Alejandro Martin del Campo
Director, Digital Humanities Department, Tecnológico de Monterrey
"As an investigative journalist, I found Information Tracer to be an invaluable tool in identifying misinformation campaigns. I used it extensively in a recent multi-part podcast about the use of social media during the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial, called Who Trolled Amber. The tool is easy to use and is more comprehensive than anything else I've seen."
