Description:

The "Daily Social Media Active Users" dataset provides a comprehensive and dynamic look into the digital presence and activity of global users across major social media platforms. The data was generated to simulate real-world usage patterns for 13 popular platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, WeChat, TikTok, Telegram, Snapchat, X (formerly Twitter), Pinterest, Reddit, Threads, LinkedIn, and Quora. This dataset contains 10,000 rows and includes several key fields that offer insights into user demographics, engagement, and usage habits.

Dataset Breakdown:

• Platform: The name of the social media platform where the user activity is tracked. It includes globally recognized platforms, such as Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, that are known for their large, active user bases.

• Owner: The company or entity that owns and operates the platform. Examples include Meta for Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, Google for YouTube, and ByteDance for TikTok.

• Primary Usage: This category identifies the primary function of each platform. Social media platforms differ in their primary usage, whether it's for social networking, messaging, multimedia sharing, professional networking, or more.

• Country: The geographical region where the user is located. The dataset simulates global coverage, showcasing users from diverse locations and regions. It helps in understanding how user behavior varies across different countries.

• Daily Time Spent (min): This field tracks how much time a user spends on a given platform on a daily basis, expressed in minutes. Time spent data is critical for understanding user engagement levels and the popularity of specific platforms.

• Verified Account: Indicates whether the user has a verified account. This feature mimics real-world patterns where verified users (often public figures, businesses, or influencers) have enhanced status on social media platforms.

• Date Joined: The date when the user registered or started using the platform. This data simulates user account history and can provide insights into user retention trends or platform growth over time.

Context and Use Cases:

• This synthetic dataset is designed to offer a privacy-friendly alternative for analytics, research, and machine learning purposes. Given the complexities and privacy concerns around using real user data, especially in the context of social media, this dataset offers a clean and secure way to develop, test, and fine-tune applications, models, and algorithms without the risks of handling sensitive or personal information.

Researchers, data scientists, and developers can use this dataset to:

• Model User Behavior: By analyzing patterns in daily time spent, verified status, and country of origin, users can model and predict social media engagement behavior.

• Test Analytics Tools: Social media monitoring and analytics platforms can use this dataset to simulate user activity and optimize their tools for engagement tracking, reporting, and visualization.

• Train Machine Learning Algorithms: The dataset can be used to train models for various tasks like user segmentation, recommendation systems, or churn prediction based on engagement metrics.

• Create Dashboards: This dataset can serve as the foundation for creating user-friendly dashboards that visualize user trends, platform comparisons, and engagement patterns across the globe.

• Conduct Market Research: Business intelligence teams can use the data to understand how various demographics use social media, offering valuable insights into the most engaged regions, platform preferences, and usage behaviors.

• Sources of Inspiration: This dataset is inspired by public data from industry reports, such as those from Statista, DataReportal, and other market research platforms. These sources provide insights into the global user base and usage statistics of popular social media platforms. The synthetic nature of this dataset allows for the use of realistic engagement metrics without violating any privacy concerns, making it an ideal tool for educational, analytical, and research purposes.

The structure and design of the dataset are based on real-world usage patterns and aim to represent a variety of users from different backgrounds, countries, and activity levels. This diversity makes it an ideal candidate for testing data-driven solutions and exploring social media trends.

Future Considerations:

As the social media landscape continues to evolve, this dataset can be updated or extended to include new platforms, engagement metrics, or user behaviors. Future iterations may incorporate features like post frequency, follower counts, engagement rates (likes, comments, shares), or even sentiment analysis from user-generated content.

By leveraging this dataset, analysts and data scientists can create better, more effective strategies ...

About this dataset

This dataset explores various factors associated with the reception of COVID-19 related content on TikTok. It not only captures overall levels of user engagement such as likes, comments, and views but also explores source credibility including information from healthcare professionals, news sources, patients, and other outlets. It further dives into demographic factors such as gender and age range as well as content type like humor or provision of clinical instruction. Finally, it takes a look at elements such as description of risk factors & symptoms along with modes of transmission established by the posts in question and prevention that was discussed within them. Moreover, there is a discernment component that breaks down user perception - rating the posts for level of misinformation (moderate/high/low). All these measures combined provide insights into how users are engaging with COVID-19 related misinformation on TikTok

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains user engagement data and measures of source credibility related to COVID-19 misinformation on TikTok. It can be used to examine the factors associated with content reception, such as views, likes, comments, as well as factors relating to credibility, demographics and content type.

Using this dataset: - Explore the columns available in the dataset. There are a number of columns that measure user engagement (views, likes and comments) as well as source credibility (official source, healthcare professional etc.), demographic factors (gender, age group etc.), and content type (humor etc). Get familiar with all these columns so that you know what information is available for analysis.
- Decide what kind of analysis you want to perform. You can use this data for exploratory or explanatory work - depending on your aims or research question. For example if you want to see how source credibility affects user engagement then you would need descriptive statistical techniques such as correlation tests or regression analyses etc., whereas if you just want to gain an overall understanding of patterns in this data then exploratory techniques such as cross tabulations may be more suitable.

Research Ideas

• Developing a predictive model to identify which demographic and source characteristics are correlated with high user engagement for COVID-related posts on TikTok (e.g. views, likes, and comments).
• Investigating the difference in user engagement for posts from healthcare professionals vs non-professional sources to compare how different types of content are received by users on TikTok.
• Analyzing the sentiment of words related to masks and tests in order to gain insights into how content about this topic is perceived by users on TikTok (i.e., positive or negative sentiment)
