How it works

Junkipedia is a research platform from the Algorithmic Transparency Institute that collects problematic content (misinformation, conspiracy, harassment, coordinated campaigns) across dozens of platforms, including podcasts, YouTube, Telegram and local news. Researchers build lists of channels to monitor, tag what they find, and share collections. It also runs civic listening projects where trained volunteers tip in content.

Access is for researchers, journalists and civil society; it's not a commercial product.
