Propaganda Detector
Media literacy & fake news
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
You will not spot propaganda by looking for lies. It rarely lies. 200 real messages, ten at a time — see how often you were sure, and wrong.
200 real propaganda messages, split into rounds of ten. Answer, see where you were off, and read what technique was used on you.
HOW IT WORKS
Every card is a short message. You are asked one question about it — is this propaganda, which technique is used, which emotion is being targeted, what is the goal. You answer, and the right option lights up green while the wrong ones turn red. Then the card opens up.
WHAT EVERY CARD EXPLAINS
Level — which of the four skills this card tested.
Emotion — which feeling the message aims at: fear, nostalgia, pride, shame, hatred.
Framing — the actual device: false dilemma, whataboutism, group demonization, appeal to authority, golden past, and 17 more.
Explanation — why it works on people who are not stupid.
ROUNDS AND YOUR PROFILE
The deck is split into rounds of ten cards. After each one you get your accuracy for that round and a star for the deck. Your answers build a cognitive profile across four dimensions — propaganda recognition, manipulation technique, emotional trigger, and goal — so you can see which layer you read well and which one slips past you.
FOUR DIFFICULTY LEVELS
Cards build up gradually. Early ones are blunt. Later ones are the kind you would scroll past without a second thought.
THREE LANGUAGES
English, Ukrainian and Russian — interface and every card. Switch inside the app, independent of your system language.
