Stanford Internet Observatory

The Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO) is a research group at Stanford University that studies online information and digital threats. They analyze social media, websites, and digital content to identify disinformation, misinformation, and harmful online behavior. Their goal is to understand how information spreads, influence, and manipulation happen on the internet, particularly related to politics, security, and society. By uncovering these patterns, they help develop strategies to promote trustworthy information and protect democratic processes, ultimately working to make online spaces safer and more transparent for everyone.
