Encyclopedia
Browse through our collection of fallacies, fake news, and misinformation, to learn how to debunk each. You can get to know more about their backgrounds and focuses with examples from international media.
The articles in this encyclopedia were written by our project participants. We did not police the choice of the topic, or the source media, we simply wanted to show as much variety as possible. That is why there are articles focused on more serious topics, as well as more light-hearted ones. Any disinformation has the potential to be harmful on some scale, even if it is only creating distrust in the society.
