Overview
The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) commissioned FuJo to undertake research for three reports:
Elect Check (2019): Assesses the online libraries or archives of adverts that were made publicly available by Facebook, Google and Twitter in Ireland ahead of the 2019 elections.
Code Check (2020): Analysed the self-assessment reports submitted by each platform over a 12-month period.
Covid-19 Disinformation (2021): Assessed the transparency reports from six platform signatories as part of the COVID-19 monitoring programme.
FuJo, through the EDMO Ireland project, has since published a fourth report, CoP Monitor. The project was coordinated by the Ireland and GADMO hubs and featured two other hubs and two external universities. The report is based on an international collaboration of 9 academics who conducted a systematic analysis of all information provided by Google, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), in the first self-reports submitted under the Strengthened Code of Practice on Disinformation.
