The Cause
Propaganda is the new weapon which influences people opinions or believes at certain ideology whether that ideology is right or wrong.
Ask yourself – do you know whether today’s news is really true or making you believe something fake unconsciously?
The propaganda identification tool which is to be developed at the upcoming Datathon will help to fight the manipulation spread in news and test hypothesis such as which news sources are biased and propagandistic.
Get involved
The good cause needs a good stimulus – Let’s raise a bigger crowdfunded award for those who will develop the tool for fighting propaganda! You can support the cause and book your ticket here with a discount by making a donation!
