About Thraets

Thraets is a non-profit Civic Tech research lab dedicated to protecting truth, democracy, and social unity in the Global South. We confront digital threats like disinformation and deep fakes through research, education, and advocacy.

Our Mission

Combating Digital Threats

We research and develop strategies to counter disinformation, deep fakes, and other digital threats to democracy.

Promoting Social Unity

Our work aims to bridge divides and foster understanding in an increasingly polarized digital landscape.

Protecting Human Rights

We advocate for policies that support ethical technology use and protect individual rights in the digital age.

Educating the Public

Through our Deep Fakes Educator project, we create resources to help people identify and understand synthetic media.

Spot The Fakes

Our flagship project focuses on developing tools and strategies to detect and counteract synthetic media. We conduct research, improve detection technologies, and create educational resources to raise awareness about the risks and signs of deep fakes.

Through this initiative and others, we strive to uphold democratic stability, human rights, and public trust in an increasingly digital world.
