How we do it Lines Lines

We help good causes succeed online in two key ways:

We deal with disinformation by understanding who is behind it, what methods they use and who they seek to manipulate

We help causes we believe in, succeed by understanding the views and behaviours of the audiences they need to reach

Examples of What We’ve Done:

A Valent investigation into disinformation in Sudan prompted Facebook to shut hundreds of accounts. As a result, disinformation content targeting the fragile civilian government fell by 75%

Following a surge in hacking attempts targeting journalists working in the Middle East, Valent rolled out cyber security support to over 50 freelancers from across the world

Valent has helped hundreds of activists in several countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia safely get their stories out to international media in the face of brutal military crackdowns

Valent investigations uncovered links between key participants in the Jan 6 storming of the US Capitol and online gaming communities
