Osavul’s High-risk accounts labeling methodology is as follows:

Manipulative accounts

Methodology - Manual We analyze publicly available disinformation reports from credible sources, like NGOs and allied nations government insitutions. If any account is mentioned in this reports as manipulative or involved in influence operations, we will flag it as ‘Manipulative account’ and add the original report/investigation as a proof.
Methodology - Automated Our automated detection relies on 2 criteria:

  1. Osavul Threat Intelligence - a sources was amplifying narratives, that are flagged as threats in Osavul platform 3+ times.

  2. Connections to known high-risk accounts - an account continuously reposts or mentions other accounts that are high-risk. E.g. accounts that often repost Russia today fall into this category. | | Valid external proof sources | Bundesministerium für Inneres – Sicherheitsakademie The Security Service of Ukraine EUvsDisinfo DFRLab GlobSec Konrad Adenauer Stiftung CeMAS BBC Hamilton Dashboard IMI Checkfirst EDMO Africa Center Der Südwestrundfunk Centre for Information Resilience Reuters Institute agendadigitale.eu Context.io SGDSN |
