Global Disinformation Index (GDI) is a not-for-profit organisation based in the United Kingdom[1][2] which aims to mitigate the spread of disinformation on the internet.[3][4][5] The group utilises a system of ratings of news sources and websites to determine risk of disinformation.[6] The group's efforts also include investigations into internet advertising,[7] and the alleged use of disinformation in relation to COVID-19 featured on various websites.[4] The group has faced scrutiny over potential political bias,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and has been categorised as a political left think tank by the group AllSides.[15][16]
