AI总结:

本研究构建了包含超82.3万条帖子和45.4万用户的Truth Social数据集,并对其内容、时间特征和网络结构进行了基础分析,填补了该新兴替代性社交媒体平台的数据空白。

摘要:

2022年初,前总统唐纳德·特朗普因参与1月6日国会山骚乱而遭主流社交网络封禁和暂停使用后,Truth Social正式向公众发布。该平台被推出作为一款“替代性”社交媒体,声称是言论自由的避风港,为那些对现有主流社交网络内容审核政策不满的人提供平台。Truth Social随后的崛起主要由前总统的强硬支持者以及其他受其他社交网络内容审核影响的人推动。这些独特特质加上其作为前总统主要喉舌的地位,使Truth Social成为极具影响力的社交媒体平台,并引发若干研究问题。然而,除少数新闻报道外,人们对这一新平台知之甚少,部分原因在于缺乏精心整理的数据。在本研究中,我们描述了一个包含超过823,000条Truth Social帖子的数据集,以及一个拥有超过454,000名独立用户的社交网络。除数据集本身外,我们还对其内容、特定时间特征和网络进行了基础分析。

英文摘要:

Formally announced to the public following former President Donald Trump's bans and suspensions from mainstream social networks in early 2022 after his role in the January 6 Capitol Riots, Truth Social was launched as an "alternative" social media platform that claims to be a refuge for free speech, offering a platform for those disaffected by the content moderation policies of the existing, mainstream social networks. The subsequent rise of Truth Social has been driven largely by hard-line supporters of the former president as well as those affected by the content moderation of other social networks. These distinct qualities combined with its status as the main mouthpiece of the former president positions Truth Social as a particularly influential social media platform and give rise to several research questions. However, outside of a handful of news reports, little is known about the new social media platform partially due to a lack of well-curated data. In the current work, we describe a dataset of over 823,000 posts to Truth Social and and social network with over 454,000 distinct users. In addition to the dataset itself, we also present some basic analysis of its content, certain temporal features, and its network.
