Social Media

Explore the social media activity of politicians, public figures and companies. From Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter handles to talking points and the number of followers, you can analyse datasets and visualisations related to online presence.

To all subjects

In today's world, social media has become an indispensable tool for understanding what’s going on in society, gauging public sentiment on various issues, and unraveling the dynamics of power relations.

From multinational corporations to influential politicians and celebrated artists, the digital footprint they leave offers an insight into their lives, work, and opinions.
