WikiRumours

WikiRumours is a web- and mobile-based platform for moderating misinformation and disinformation. The software is free and open source under an MIT license, which means that it can be used for open, commercial or proprietary use, without mandatory attribution. As communications technology has become more widely distributed in the developing world, the spread of inaccurate, incomplete or fabricated information is an increasingly significant threat to peace and stability, particularly in regions with limited access to reliable third-party media. WikiRumours can be used to contextualize and mitigate misinformation through community involvement, crisis moderation and transparency.
