Our Story

DROG was founded with a simple but ambitious goal: to build the most effective community for countering disinformation in Europe and beyond.

We recognized that fighting disinformation requires more than just fact-checking or media literacy. It demands a multi-generational approach that adapts to evolving threats and leverages diverse expertise.

Through our DIM (Disinformation Intervention Model), we've mapped out five generations of counter-disinformation interventions, each responding to different challenges and paradigms. We're now pioneering Generation 5 "Interactivist" interventions that harness the power of group communication and social interaction.

Born at DROG

These projects were incubated at DROG and have reached millions worldwide, demonstrating the power of our exploitation model.
