Our partner DROG put out another a new game with GLOBSEC and Google.org called Rig It. You build a political campaign and see how emotion and AI can be used to shape opinions and influence democracy.
It follows the same idea behind their other games like Bad News (which has had over 15 million players in 50+ countries), Go Viral!, and Harmony Square.
Give it a try at https://www.rigitgame.com/
Our partner DROG Group built a tool we think is pretty cool.
TactCheck is basically a fake social media platform running on Mastodon. Researchers can use it to study how disinformation actually spreads without having to deal with real platforms. You can load scenarios, replay real Twitter/X data, spin up AI bots, even simulate a Facebook-like environment.
Worth a look if you work in research, policy, or media literacy: tactcheck.com
Our partner Faktabaari (FactBar) is working on a new EU-funded project called PRiME (Primary Information and Media Education). The goal is to help primary school kids aged 6-12 develop media literacy skills that actually make sense in the age of AI.
The project brings together five countries (Belgium, Spain, Austria, Germany, and Finland) and is funded by the EU's Creative Europe programme.

Our EMOD platform is now live at emod.saufex.eu
It's a free microlearning platform with 64 modules for policymakers, journalists, researchers, and citizens. Each module takes about 8-10 minutes.
No fluff, just practical stuff on countering information manipulation that you can actually use for free.

We just launched our new website! saufex.eu
After months of work, we wanted to make our research, tools, and resources easier to find for everyone working on democratic resilience and countering information manipulation.
The site brings together over 175 articles, research papers, and podcasts with people like Audrey Tang and Stephan Lewandowsky.
