Timeline
Check First was founded in the first months of the global pandemic with the intention to help fight disinformation about COVID. Our work was noticed among others by the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, which asked us to build ODIL, the platform gathering initiatives against disinformation in the French speaking world. Since then, Check First was associated to many high-level projects in content monitoring (CrossOver), or political ads monitoring (22vlalapub) as well as in the design of state of the art research tools for data analysis and investigations (OKSA).
Our vision
CheckFirst aspires towards an online information ecosystem where manipulation is harder to conduct, online harms stand exposed, decisionmakers make informed choices and malign actors are held accountable to democratic institutions.
