Critical global, political, and financial narratives are being deliberately manipulated on the platforms that train AI and shape public understanding. We remain blind to their activities.
NPOV makes narrative manipulation visible.
NPOV investigates narrative manipulation, influence operations, and coordinated campaigns shaping information at the infrastructure layer. We surface attacks by tracking threat actors, mapping networks, and connecting narratives as they travel through the platforms the world depends on.
Identify and monitor the actors orchestrating coordinated narrative manipulation across platforms
Trace the connections between accounts, campaigns, and platforms to reveal the full scope of influence operations
Follow manipulated narratives as they propagate through Wikipedia, Reddit, ChatGPT, and the wider information environment
The real battleground isn't social media. It's the platforms that determine what people know, what AI believes, and what shows up when you search.
The #1 Google result for most topics and the reference source for journalists, policymakers, and the public. Coordinated edit networks quietly rewrite the narrative on any page.
One of the largest sources of human-generated content on the web and a primary training source for AI models. Coordinated campaigns seed narratives that become permanent.
ChatGPT, Gemini, and every major language model learn from the open web. Once a manipulated narrative enters the training pipeline, it becomes hard-coded into the systems billions rely on.
We provide tools that make narrative manipulation visible — while exposing the threat actors behind it. Our platform combines the rigor of investigative journalism with technology purpose-built for the information environment.
How We InvestigateThese investigations reveal how coordinated campaigns reshape narratives on the platforms the world depends on.
A coordinated Wikipedia editing campaign led by TarnishedPath slapped a neutrality dispute box on J.K. Rowling's entry in an effort to brand the author as "anti-trans." The operation is part of a broader pattern of ideological gatekeeping on the platform, where a small number of editors control how public figures are presented to billions of readers and the AI systems that learn from Wikipedia.
A coordinated campaign led by around 40 Wikipedia editors worked to delegitimize Israel, present radical Islamist groups favorably, and position fringe academic views as mainstream. Six weeks after October 7, one editor successfully removed mention of Hamas' 1988 charter — which calls for the killing of Jews — from the article on Hamas. The investigation triggered Wikipedia's largest-ever arbitration case.
Reddit has become one of the most influential upstream sources of AI training data — what gets upvoted today becomes the answer AI provides tomorrow. NPOV documented two large-scale manipulation campaigns: a propaganda network linked to U.S.-designated terror organizations operating across 110+ subreddits, and a coordinated astroturfing campaign that swept through major sports communities to ban links to X.
Coordinated campaigns are actively reshaping narratives on the platforms the world depends on. Don't wait until the damage is permanent.
