Here is a little description of the website, Disinfowatch:

"DisinfoWatch is a leading Canadian foreign disinformation monitoring and debunking platform. Our data is sourced through an international network of journalists, civil society organizations and analysts, as well as some automated sources, and is anaylized and exposed in order raise broader general awareness of disinformation and build long-term resilience against it.

Our core objective is to increase public understanding and awareness about mis/disinformation, by whom and why it’s produced, how to identify it and how to help stop its spread."

Edit to add some text I copied this morning. The website is down. I don't think it is far-fetched to think Russia would DDOS this kind of website.

"Sputnik, a Russian state media outlet, has published an article targeting Mark Carney, the newly elected leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and incoming Prime Minister. The article frames Carney as an unqualified and problematic leader by listing alleged “mishaps” including one connecting him with Russia’s classic neo-Nazi accusation. It should be noted that Sputnik, like RT, is a key instrument of the Russian government and intelligence services, used for information and influence operations targeting Western democracies. Sputnik’s article is not a neutral critique but part of a broader disinformation campaign aimed at: Undermining Carney’s leadership by questioning his credentials, integrity, and political legitimacy. Eroding Canadian support for Ukraine by framing Carney’s pro-Ukraine stance, especially his use of “Slava Ukraini“, as radical or dangerous. Sowing distrust in Western financial and political elites by portraying Carney as an untrustworthy figure tied to corruption and globalist interests. This article follows a Kremlin playbook commonly used against Western leaders who support Ukraine, climate policies, or strong financial governance. Similar tactics have been used against Canadian officials"

Maybe they should post some of their work on something like a decentralized social platform.
