What is disinformation monitoring and FIMI?

Disinformation monitoring is the continuous observation of the information environment for manipulative, misleading or coordinated content. The goal is to make problematic narratives visible early, before they spread.

FIMI (Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference) is a term coined by the EU for foreign information manipulation and interference – mostly non-illegal but manipulative and coordinated influence on the information environment by foreign actors.

How AegisSight supports detection

AegisSight is not a black box that simply stamps content as "true" or "false". Instead, the software creates the evidence-backed basis on which experts can identify manipulation:

Fact-checkingEvery central claim is automatically compared against several independent sources; matches and contradictions are shown transparently.
Source assessmentSources are classified by a four-axis scheme (methodology, transparency, independence, track record), complemented by external signals such as IFCN and EUvsDisinfo.
Tracking narrativesAcross hundreds of multilingual sources, it becomes visible where a claim originates and how it spreads.

Frequently asked questions

What does FIMI mean?

FIMI stands for Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference. The term, coined by the EU, describes mostly non-illegal but manipulative and coordinated influence on the information environment by foreign actors.

Does AegisSight detect disinformation automatically?

AegisSight supports detection: every central claim is automatically checked against several independent sources, and sources are assessed transparently. Contradictions and unsubstantiated claims become visible. The final judgement remains with the expert analysts.

Which external signals does the source assessment use?

The source classification combines a four-axis assessment scheme (methodology, transparency, independence, track record) with external signals such as IFCN membership and the EUvsDisinfo database.
