You might be surprised how much Truth Social is worth based on its small number of users.

During the beginning of the launch, they had some pretty fast growth. Here are the key Truth Social statistics you need to know.

A survey done in March 2022 found that 31% of Republican voters said they would use Truth Social often and 14% said they plan to use the platform a lot.

How does Truth Social compare to other social media platforms? There are around 2 million active Truth Social users.

We've put together a list of the latest Truth Social statistics so you can see who uses the platform and whether or not Truth Social is likely to become a dominant social media network in the future.

Population-level national networks on social media are precious and essential for network science and behavioural science. This study proposes a data collection strategy for scraping online social networks at the population level, and thereby serving as a “ground truth” for the validation of both ego-centric and socio-centric data collection approaches. We proposed a set of validation approaches to evaluate the validity of our approach. Finally, we re-examined classical network and communication propositions (e.g., 80/20 rule, six degrees of separation) on the national network. Our proposed strategy would largely flourish the data collection pool of population-level social networks and further develop the research of network analysis in digital media environment.

The Truth Seeker Dataset is designed to support research in the detection and classification of misinformation on social media platforms, particularly focusing on Twitter. This dataset is part of a broader initiative to enhance the understanding of how machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) can be leveraged to identify fake news and misleading content in real-time.Dataset CompositionThe Truth Seeker Dataset comprises a substantial collection of social media posts that have been meticulously labeled as either real or fake. It was constructed using advanced ML algorithms and NLP techniques to analyze the language patterns in social media communications. The dataset includes:Raw Social Media Posts: A diverse range of tweets that reflect various topics and sentiments.Labeling: Each post is annotated with binary labels indicating its authenticity (real or fake).Feature Sets: Two distinct subsets of the dataset have been created using different NLP vectorization methods—Word2Vec and TF-IDF. This allows researchers to explore how different feature representations impact model performance.Research ApplicationsThe primary aim of the Truth Seeker Dataset is to facilitate the development and validation of models that can accurately classify social media content. Key applications include:Fake News Detection: Utilizing various ML algorithms, including Random Forest and AdBoost, which have demonstrated high F1 scores in preliminary evaluations.Model Comparison: Researchers can compare the effectiveness of different ML approaches on the same dataset, enabling a clearer understanding of which methods yield the best results in detecting misinformation.Algorithm Development: The dataset serves as a benchmark for developing new algorithms aimed at improving accuracy in fake news detection.

Over the past half-century, numerous transitional justice (TJ) measures have been implemented globally. While much research has examined different TJ modalities in the aftermath of authoritarian rule and armed conflict, a growing body of work recognizes TJ outside of political transitions. We study a noteworthy export from transitional to non-transitional settings: truth commissions. Building on scholarship on TJ in established democracies, we introduce new quantitative data from the Varieties of Truth Commissions Project on truth commissions in an overlooked but significant case: the United States. The data captures 20 past, present and proposed official US truth commissions, most of them at the subnational level. Though their mandates vary considerably, they all address racial injustice, with an emphasis on anti-Indigenous and anti-Black violence. We elaborate on trends in the data and discuss the implications for unfolding efforts to reckon with historical and contemporary racial violence and injustice in the United States.

THIS IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. In ICEWS, an Event of Interest (EOI) is a macro-level occurrence within a country or region that is supported by the existence of multiple underlying events. The Ground Truth Data Set is a collection of data which lists, for the EOIs supported, whether or not the EOI did occur in any given country for any given month, historically speaking. We plan to update this data on a periodic basis. The five EOIs that are currently supported in this data set include: 1. Domestic Political Crisis (DPC): Significant opposition to the government, but not to the level of rebellion or insurgency (e.g., power struggles between two political factions involving disruptive strikes or violent clashes between supporters). 2. Insurgency: Organized opposition whose objective is to overthrow the central government. 3. International Crisis: Conflict or elevated tensions that could lead to conflict between two or more states OR between a state and an actor operating primarily from beyond the state's borders that involves the deployment of substantial ground forces (1,000+) beyond its borders. 4. Rebellion: Organized, active, violent opposition with substantial arms, where the objective is to seek autonomy or independence from the central government. 5. Ethnic/Religious Violence: Violence between ethnic or religious groups that is not specifically directed against the government.

The real dataset consists of movie evaluations from IMDB, which provides a platform where individuals can evaluate movies on a scale of 1 to 10. If a user rates a movie and clicks the share button, a Twitter message is generated. We then extract the rating from the Twitter message. We treat the ratings on the IMDB website as the event truths, which are based on the aggregated evaluations from all users, whereas our observations come from only a subset of users who share their ratings on Twitter. Using the Twitter API, we collect information about the follower and following relationships between individuals that generate movie evaluation Twitter messages. To better show the influence of social network information on event truth discovery, we delete small subnetworks that consist of less than 5 agents. The final dataset we use consists of 2266 evaluations from 209 individuals on 245 movies (events) and also the social network between these 209 individuals. We regard the social network to be undirected as both follower or following relationships indicate that the two users have similar taste.

Notes on inclusion into the SuiteSparse Matrix Collection, July 2018:

The graph in the SNAP data set is 1-based, with nodes numbered 1 to
1,157,827.

In the SuiteSparse Matrix Collection, Problem.A is the undirected Youtube
network, a matrix of size n-by-n with n=1,134,890, which is the number of
unique user id's appearing in any edge.

Problem.aux.nodeid is a list of the node id's that appear in the SNAP data set. A(i,j)=1 if person nodeid(i) is friends with person nodeid(j). The
node id's are the same as the SNAP data set (1-based).

C = Problem.aux.Communities_all is a sparse matrix of size n by 16,386
which represents the communities in the com-youtube.all.cmty.txt file.
The kth line in that file defines the kth community, and is the column
C(:,k), where C(i,k)=1 if person nodeid(i) is in the kth community. Row
C(i,:) and row/column i of the A matrix thus refer to the same person,
nodeid(i).

Ctop = Problem.aux.Communities_top5000 is n-by-5000, with the same
structure as the C array above, with the content of the
com-youtube.top5000.cmty.txt.gz file.

The Residential Schools Locations Dataset in Geodatabase format (IRS_Locations.gbd) contains a feature layer "IRS_Locations" that contains the locations (latitude and longitude) of Residential Schools and student hostels operated by the federal government in Canada. All the residential schools and hostels that are listed in the Residential Schools Settlement Agreement are included in this dataset, as well as several Industrial schools and residential schools that were not part of the IRRSA. This version of the dataset doesn’t include the five schools under the Newfoundland and Labrador Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. The original school location data was created by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and was provided to the researcher (Rosa Orlandini) by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in April 2017. The dataset was created by Rosa Orlandini, and builds upon and enhances the previous work of the Truth and Reconcilation Commission, Morgan Hite (creator of the Atlas of Indian Residential Schools in Canada that was produced for the Tk'emlups First Nation and Justice for Day Scholar's Initiative, and Stephanie Pyne (project lead for the Residential Schools Interactive Map). Each individual school location in this dataset is attributed either to RSIM, Morgan Hite, NCTR or Rosa Orlandini. Many schools/hostels had several locations throughout the history of the institution. If the school/hostel moved from its’ original location to another property, then the school is considered to have two unique locations in this dataset,the original location and the new location. For example, Lejac Indian Residential School had two locations while it was operating, Stuart Lake and Fraser Lake. If a new school building was constructed on the same property as the original school building, it isn't considered to be a new location, as is the case of Girouard Indian Residential School.When the precise location is known, the coordinates of the main building are provided, and when the precise location of the building isn’t known, an approximate location is provided. For each residential school institution location, the following information is provided: official names, alternative name, dates of operation, religious affiliation, latitude and longitude coordinates, community location, Indigenous community name, contributor (of the location coordinates), school/institution photo (when available), location point precision, type of school (hostel or residential school) and list of references used to determine the location of the main buildings or sites. Access Instructions: there are 47 files in this data package. Please download the entire data package by selecting all the 47 files and click on download. Two files will be downloaded, IRS_Locations.gbd.zip and IRS_LocFields.csv. Uncompress the IRS_Locations.gbd.zip. Use QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcMap to open the feature layer IRS_Locations that is contained within the IRS_Locations.gbd data package. The feature layer is in WGS 1984 coordinate system. There is also detailed file level metadata included in this feature layer file. The IRS_locations.csv provides the full description of the fields and codes used in this dataset.

Since 1970, scores of states have established truth commissions to document political violence. Despite their prevalence and potential consequence, the question of why commissions are adopted in some contexts, but not in others, is not well understood. Relatedly, little is known about why some commissions possess strong investigative powers while others do not. I argue that the answer to both questions lies with domestic and international civil society actors, who are connected by a global transitional justice (TJ) network and who share the burden of guiding commission adoption and design. I propose that commissions are more likely to be adopted where network members can leverage information and moral authority over governments. I also suggest that commissions are more likely to possess strong powers where international experts, who steward TJ best practices, advise governments. I evaluate these expectations by analyzing two datasets in the novel Varieties of Truth Commissions Project, interviews with representatives from international non-governmental organizations, interviews with Guatemalan non-governmental organization leaders, a focus group with Argentinian human rights advocates, and a focus group at the International Center for Transitional Justice. My results indicate that network members share the burden—domestic members are essential to commission adoption, while international members are important for strong commission design.

Context

As the COVID-19 virus quickly spreads around the world, unfortunately, misinformation related to COVID-19 also gets created and spreads like wild fire. Such misinformation has caused confusion among people, disruptions in society, and even deadly consequences in health problems. To be able to understand, detect, and mitigate such COVID-19 misinformation, therefore, has not only deep intellectual values but also huge societal impacts. To help researchers combat COVID-19 health misinformation, this dataset created.
