Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary An anonymised dataset of public Facebook content posted during March - April 2024. We first looked for public Facebook accounts or keywords associated with Myanmar, Cambodian, and Thai authoritarian content, including pro-regime propaganda, anti-dissident disinformation, promotion of anti-dissident violence, or anti-dissident doxing content. We used CrowdTangle – Meta's own social media monitoring tool – to capture content on a daily basis based on our list of authoritarian accounts and keywords. This dataset includes random samples of 2000 Myanmar posts, 2000 Thai posts, and 2000 Cambodian posts with qualitative coding.
