Another day, another example of the Meta Content Library being a disappointment, and an active hinderance to trust and safety research.
I'm on a little side-quest right now, analyzing the content of the major Polish presidential candidates on Instagram.

For this episode of the Tech Policy Press podcast, audio reporter Rebecca Rand crashed a funeral... for #CrowdTangle, software that allowed journalists and independent researchers to get important insights into social media. #Meta pulled the plug on it in August.
Oh! Nice to hear @davekarpf.bsky.social on @neverpo.st!

“For years, #CrowdTangle has represented an industry best practice for real-time platform transparency. It has become a lifeline for understanding how #disinformation, hate speech, and voter suppression spread on Facebook, undermining civic discourse and democracy,” apnews.com/article/meta...

🚨 The European Commission demands more details from Meta about its Content Library tool and API under the DSA, following Meta's move to deprecate CrowdTangle. Scrutiny intensifies on Meta's transparency efforts! #Meta #DSA #EU #ContentLibrary #CrowdTangle #TechRegulation
Following Meta's decision to shut down #CrowdTangle, today the EU sent a request for info about how Meta is complying with its obligations under the DSA to give researchers access to data and on its plans to update election and civic discourse monitoring functions: www.euronews.com/next/2024/08...
Closure of #Meta’s transparency tool #CrowdTangle is the latest move by #SocialMedia companies to restrict access to data for researchers, journalists and policymakers.

#Meta killed #CrowdTangle, an ‘invaluable’ research tool, because what it showed was inconvenient | www.engadget.com/big-tech/met...

It’s a sad day.
#crowdtangle
CrowdTangle was a public insights tool from Meta to explore public content on social media. As of August 14, 2024, CrowdTangle is no longer available. Meta Content Library and Content Library API, provide useful, high-quality data to researchers. Meta Content Library was designed to help us meet new regulatory requirements for data-sharing and transparency while meeting Meta’s rigorous privacy and security standards.
#CrowdTangle is officially dead. Today is a dark day for transparency and social media research. If you have tried the new Meta Content Library, you know that it is hardly a replacement. If you haven't... well... you're in for a rough ride if you need to examine Facebook and Instagram.
On August 14, #Meta killed their leading transparency tool — right in the middle of the biggest election year ever. Go to www.ripcrowdtangle.com to learn more about the impact Meta shutting down #CrowdTangle will have on our world! #RIPCrowdTangle

Looks like "Meta for Media" hasn't quite got the message yet, BTW - it's still spruiking... 🫤
"Monitor public information with CrowdTangle. Get more transparency into how information is spreading on social media with new tools from #CrowdTangle."
Happy and/or solemn #CrowdTangle Decommissioning Day to all those who observe. May your last few requests from the big ol' Metahose be served without a hitch.
<slaps server gently> You did well, you slapdash stack of SQL scripts you. Time to rest now. 🥹
