About NPOV

Making narrative manipulation visible.

NPOV is a narrative intelligence firm investigating the coordinated networks manipulating Wikipedia, Reddit, and the AI training data they feed.

Why we exist

The platforms shaping public knowledge are being quietly manipulated.

Wikipedia is the world's reference layer. Reddit is a primary training source for every major AI model. Both feed the AI systems that shape how billions of people understand the world. And both are being reshaped by coordinated networks operating below the threshold of normal scrutiny.

By the time a manipulated narrative reaches public consensus, the upstream battle is already over. The original distortion has already entered search results, AI knowledge panels, and the citation chain that journalists and policymakers rely on. Most institutions never see what happened.

NPOV investigates these networks at the infrastructure layer — documenting how they operate, what they target, and what they reshape — and delivers the evidence institutions need to act.

What the work has produced

Institutional and platform-level outcomes.

Congressional inquiry

The U.S. House Oversight Committee opened an inquiry into organized efforts to manipulate Wikipedia articles, following the publication of NPOV's investigations.

PIA-5 arbitration

Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee closed one of the most extensive cases in the platform's history, introducing new editorial restrictions across the Arab–Israeli conflict topic area.

State-linked operations documented

Investigations have surfaced influence operations linked to Iran and Qatar — contributing to public understanding of how state actors target the information infrastructure.

Platform-governance change
