Unprecedented record of online and real-world events.
Malicious actors use social media to advance destructive agendas, including political extremism, racial hatred, and election disinformation. In many situations, political and military conflicts are fought as much on social media platforms as in the real world, transforming modern warfare, political discourse, and liberal democracy.
At the same time, social media data holds the potential to provide an unprecedented and expansive real-time record of online and real-world events and their impact on vulnerable communities and individuals.
