Logically is a technology company that delivers powerful Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning solutions to tackle the toughest modern information challenges. We have developed a suite of products to help government, trust and safety teams, and enterprises gain comprehensive insights into the increasingly complex information landscape. We also operate one of the world’s largest fact-checking teams under our independent subsidiary, Logically Facts, which was created as a separate division in April 2023. 

Our team of award-winning data scientists, engineers, analysts, developers and investigators possess deep domain expertise in the dynamics of misleading content, deceptive behaviour and harmful online narratives. The team is united by the company’s mission to build advanced Artificial Intelligence to give organisations a decisive information advantage in combating threats online. Our OSINT team produces deep-dive investigations and reports on disinformation, including on foreign information manipulation and interference. Logically Facts publishes frequent indepth  fact checks, in addition to more detailed analyses of particular developments. 

Our Signatoryship to the EU Code of Practice on Disinformation allows us to contribute to the development and post-implementation monitoring of industry-drafted self-regulatory standards to fight threats to information integrity. We have opted into Commitments that are geared towards countering the tactics employed by online threat actors, boosting the impact of fact-checking operations and enhancing media literacy. This report will demonstrate how we adhere to those Commitments. 

Commitment 14: This Commitment asks Signatories to outline the policies they have against the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) employed by actors of disinformation. Logically does not provide a user-to-user service where such TTPs could manifest and so we do not have explicit policies against them. However, while we do not conduct policing actions against malicious actors, we do publish fact-checks and OSINT investigations that spotlight any TTPs employed, thereby providing case studies that can feed evidence-based policies by platforms or governments. The investigations we highlight in this report exemplify our identification of TTPs e.g. increased use of messaging platforms to control narratives as well as the amplification of content from fringe websites by hostile state actors. 

Commitment 16: This Commitment asks Signatories to provide qualitative examples of cross-platform migration tactics employed by actors of disinformation to circumvent moderation policies, engage different audiences or coordinate action on platforms with less scrutiny. Logically’s case studies demonstrate the way in which different kinds of disinformation actors migrated to different kinds of platforms depending on the kind of content they were looking to spread. For e.g., while Telegram and Rumble became new homes for far right extremists and Covid-19 conspiracy theories to begin disseminating content, climate misinformation began to be spread from blogging sites like Substack or Medium. 

Commitment 17: This Commitment asked Signatories to report on the media literacy activities they undertook throughout the reporting period. Logically Facts partnered with TikTok to provide media literacy training which was accessible in several European countries and the UK ahead of elections. It also conducted a number of other media literacy initiatives in Sweden and the UK.

Commitment 29: This Commitment sought for Signatories to detail their methodologies for tracking and analysing influence operations and disinformation campaigns. In response, Logically cited the investigative methodologies employed in specified case studies, and detailed our work on ethical standards and data governance. We intend to keep our research contributions updated in the Transparency Centre, including via annual reporting under the Code.

Commitment 30: This Commitment asked Signatories to report on actions to facilitate fact-checking organisations’ cross-border collaboration. As a company with a dedicated fact-checking subsidiary, we have cited our involvement in the development of the European Fact-Checking Standards Network (EFCSN), our active cooperation with other organisations on specific fact-checks and subject matters, and our internal structural planning to prioritise such collaborations. We also demonstrated this commitment by participating in important events for the fact-checking community in 2024. 

Commitments 31, 34, 35 and 36: These Commitments sought information on how Signatories are contributing to the development of a repository of fact-checking content, as well as the Transparency Centre. Logically intends to contribute to these as and when we are called upon by the Taskforce. 

Commitment 33: In response to this Commitment to uphold ethical and transparency rules, we have cited our accreditation by the International Fact-Checking Network and our application to the EFCSN. We have also outlined our strict ethics and transparency policies, including our lists of prohibited clients and use cases, as well as the ways that we ensure our independence and non-partisanship. 

Commitment 37: This Commitment asked about the Signatories’ engagement with the Taskforce. Logically has remained steadfast in its engagement with the Taskforce. We continue to be part of four Subgroups, namely on the Empowerment of Fact-Checkers, the Integrity of Services, Generative AI, and on Elections. 

Commitment 38: This Commitment called for Signatories to outline the internal teams dedicated to ensuring compliance with the Code. Logically has indicated the titles of the team members responsible for overseeing compliance, as well as the processes carried out. This included internal cross-functional consultations and reviews of internal documentation and policies. 

2024 was a monumental year in Logically’s growth. We have expanded the scope of our threat detection product, Logically Intelligence®. We developed a new tool, Logically Accelerate to assist fact checkers and journalists search and analyse short-form videos. We have carried out a number of media literacy initiatives and have increased our resources dedicated to this activity accordingly. As experts in our field, we can help government, trust and safety teams and enterprises to monitor and mitigate harmful information threats at speed and at scale and empower the public with accurate information to build societal resilience. We intend to continue expanding and refining these efforts in line with our Commitments under the Code in the next scheduled reporting round.
