Youtube social network and ground-truth communities Dataset information Youtube is a video-sharing web site that includes a social network. In the Youtube social network, users form friendship each other and users can create groups which other users can join. We consider such user-defined groups as ground-truth communities. This data is provided by Alan Mislove et al.

We regard each connected component in a group as a separate ground-truth community. We remove the ground-truth communities which have less than 3 nodes. We also provide the top 5,000 communities with highest quality which are described in our paper. As for the network, we provide the largest connected component.

Cristiano Ronaldo has one of the most popular Instagram accounts as of April 2024.

              The Portuguese footballer is the most-followed person on the photo sharing app platform with 628 million followers. Instagram's own account was ranked first with roughly 672 million followers.

              How popular is Instagram?

              Instagram is a photo-sharing social networking service that enables users to take pictures and edit them with filters. The platform allows users to post and share their images online and directly with their friends and followers on the social network. The cross-platform app reached one billion monthly active users in mid-2018. In 2020, there were over 114 million Instagram users in the United States and experts project this figure to surpass 127 million users in 2023.

              Who uses Instagram?

              Instagram audiences are predominantly young – recent data states that almost 60 percent of U.S. Instagram users are aged 34 years or younger. Fall 2020 data reveals that Instagram is also one of the most popular social media for teens and one of the social networks with the biggest reach among teens in the United States.

              Celebrity influencers on Instagram
              Many celebrities and athletes are brand spokespeople and generate additional income with social media advertising and sponsored content. Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo ranked first again, as the average media value of one of his Instagram posts was 985,441 U.S. dollars.

How much time do people spend on social media? As of 2025, the average daily social media usage of internet users worldwide amounted to 141 minutes per day, down from 143 minutes in the previous year. Currently, the country with the most time spent on social media per day is Brazil, with online users spending an average of 3 hours and 49 minutes on social media each day. In comparison, the daily time spent with social media in the U.S. was just 2 hours and 16 minutes. Global social media usageCurrently, the global social network penetration rate is 62.3 percent. Northern Europe had an 81.7 percent social media penetration rate, topping the ranking of global social media usage by region. Eastern and Middle Africa closed the ranking with 10.1 and 9.6 percent usage reach, respectively. People access social media for a variety of reasons. Users like to find funny or entertaining content and enjoy sharing photos and videos with friends, but mainly use social media to stay in touch with current events friends. Global impact of social mediaSocial media has a wide-reaching and significant impact on not only online activities but also offline behavior and life in general. During a global online user survey in February 2019, a significant share of respondents stated that social media had increased their access to information, ease of communication, and freedom of expression. On the flip side, respondents also felt that social media had worsened their personal privacy, increased a polarization in politics and heightened everyday distractions.

Which county has the most Facebook users?

              There are more than 378 million Facebook users in India alone, making it the leading country in terms of Facebook audience size. To put this into context, if India’s Facebook audience were a country then it would be ranked third in terms of largest population worldwide. Apart from India, there are several other markets with more than 100 million Facebook users each: The United States, Indonesia, and Brazil with 193.8 million, 119.05 million, and 112.55 million Facebook users respectively.

              Facebook – the most used social media

              Meta, the company that was previously called Facebook, owns four of the most popular social media platforms worldwide, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Facebook, and Instagram. As of the third quarter of 2021, there were around 3,5 billion cumulative monthly users of the company’s products worldwide. With around 2.9 billion monthly active users, Facebook is the most popular social media worldwide. With an audience of this scale, it is no surprise that the vast majority of Facebook’s revenue is generated through advertising.

              Facebook usage by device
              As of July 2021, it was found that 98.5 percent of active users accessed their Facebook account from mobile devices. In fact, almost 81.8 percent of Facebook audiences worldwide access the platform only via mobile phone. Facebook is not only available through mobile browser as the company has published several mobile apps for users to access their products and services. As of the third quarter 2021, the four core Meta products were leading the ranking of most downloaded mobile apps worldwide, with WhatsApp amassing approximately six billion downloads.

Abstract:

Since its appearance in 2018, TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms among digital natives because of its algorithm-based engagement strategies, a policy of public accounts, and a simple, colorful, and intuitive content interface. As happened in the past with other platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, various media are currently seeking ways to adapt to TikTok and its particular characteristics to attract a younger audience less accustomed to the consumption of journalistic material. Against this background, the aim of this study is to identify the presence of the media and journalists on TikTok, measure the virality and engagement of the content they generate, describe the communities created around them, and identify the presence of journalistic use of these accounts. For this, 23,174 videos from 143 accounts belonging to media from 25 countries were analyzed. The results indicate that, in general, the presence and impact of the media in this social network are low and that most of their content is oriented towards the creation of user communities based on viral content and entertainment. However, albeit with a lesser presence, one can also identify accounts and messages that adapt their content to the specific characteristics of TikTok. Their virality and engagement figures illustrate that there is indeed a niche for current affairs on this social network.

General data recollected for the studio " Analysis of the Quantitative Impact of Social Networks on Web Traffic of Cybermedia in the 27 Countries of the European Union". Four research questions are posed: what percentage of the total web traffic generated by cybermedia in the European Union comes from social networks? Is said percentage higher or lower than that provided through direct traffic and through the use of search engines via SEO positioning? Which social networks have a greater impact? And is there any degree of relationship between the specific weight of social networks in the web traffic of a cybermedia and circumstances such as the average duration of the user's visit, the number of page views or the bounce rate understood in its formal aspect of not performing any kind of interaction on the visited page beyond reading its content? To answer these questions, we have first proceeded to a selection of the cybermedia with the highest web traffic of the 27 countries that are currently part of the European Union after the United Kingdom left on December 31, 2020. In each nation we have selected five media using a combination of the global web traffic metrics provided by the tools Alexa (https://www.alexa.com/), which ceased to be operational on May 1, 2022, and SimilarWeb (https:// www.similarweb.com/). We have not used local metrics by country since the results obtained with these first two tools were sufficiently significant and our objective is not to establish a ranking of cybermedia by nation but to examine the relevance of social networks in their web traffic. In all cases, cybermedia whose property corresponds to a journalistic company have been selected, ruling out those belonging to telecommunications portals or service providers; in some cases they correspond to classic information companies (both newspapers and televisions) while in others they refer to digital natives, without this circumstance affecting the nature of the research proposed.
Below we have proceeded to examine the web traffic data of said cybermedia. The period corresponding to the months of October, November and December 2021 and January, February and March 2022 has been selected. We believe that this six-month stretch allows possible one-time variations to be overcome for a month, reinforcing the precision of the data obtained. To secure this data, we have used the SimilarWeb tool, currently the most precise tool that exists when examining the web traffic of a portal, although it is limited to that coming from desktops and laptops, without taking into account those that come from mobile devices, currently impossible to determine with existing measurement tools on the market. It includes:

Web traffic general data: average visit duration, pages per visit and bounce rate Web traffic origin by country Percentage of traffic generated from social media over total web traffic Distribution of web traffic generated from social networks Comparison of web traffic generated from social netwoks with direct and search procedures

56.8% of the world’s total population is active on social media.

The results might surprise you when looking at internet users that are active on social media in each country.

As of January 2024, #love was the most used hashtag on Instagram, being included in over two billion posts on the social media platform. #Instagood and #instagram were used over one billion times as of early 2024.

Facebook and YouTube are still the most used social media platforms today.

The dataset is from our recent study titled "Using data science to understand the film industry’s gender gap". To construct this dataset, we fused data from the online movie database IMDb with a dataset of movie dialogue subtitles to create the largest available corpus of movie social networks (15,540 networks).

About the NUDA DatasetMedia bias is a multifaceted problem, leading to one-sided views and impacting decision-making. A way to address bias in news articles is to automatically detect and indicate it through machine-learning methods. However, such detection is limited due to the difficulty of obtaining reliable training data. To facilitate the data-gathering process, we introduce NewsUnravel, a news-reading web application leveraging an initially tested feedback mechanism to collect reader feedback on machine-generated bias highlights within news articles. Our approach augments dataset quality by significantly increasing inter-annotator agreement by 26.31% and improving classifier performance by 2.49%. As the first human-in-the-loop application for media bias, NewsUnravel shows that a user-centric approach to media bias data collection can return reliable data while being scalable and evaluated as easy to use. NewsUnravel demonstrates that feedback mechanisms are a promising strategy to reduce data collection expenses, fluidly adapt to changes in language, and enhance evaluators' diversity.

General

This dataset was created through user feedback on automatically generated bias highlights on news articles on the website NewsUnravel made by ANON. Its goal is to improve the detection of linguistic media bias for analysis and to indicate it to the public. Support came from ANON. None of the funders played any role in the dataset creation process or publication-related decisions.

The dataset consists of text, namely biased sentences with binary bias labels (processed, biased or not biased) as well as metadata about the article. It includes all feedback that was given. The single ratings (unprocessed) used to create the labels with correlating User IDs are included.

For training, this dataset was combined with the BABE dataset. All data is completely anonymous. Some sentences might be offensive or triggering as they were taken from biased or more extreme news sources. The dataset does not identify sub-populations or can be considered sensitive to them, nor is it possible to identify individuals.

Description of the Data Files

This repository contains the datasets for the anonymous NewsUnravel submission. The tables contain the following data:

NUDAdataset.csv: the NUDA dataset with 310 new sentences with bias labelsStatistics.png: contains all Umami statistics for NewsUnravel's usage dataFeedback.csv: holds the participantID of a single feedback with the sentence ID (contentId), the bias rating, and provided reasonsContent.csv: holds the participant ID of a rating with the sentence ID (contentId) of a rated sentence and the bias rating, and reason, if givenArticle.csv: holds the article ID, title, source, article metadata, article topic, and bias amount in %Participant.csv: holds the participant IDs and data processing consent

Collection Process

Data was collected through interactions with the Feedback Mechanism on NewsUnravel. A news article was displayed with automatically generated bias highlights. Each highlight could be selected, and readers were able to agree or disagree with the automatic label. Through a majority vote, labels were generated from those feedback interactions. Spammers were excluded through a spam detection approach.

Readers came to our website voluntarily through posts on LinkedIn and social media as well as posts on university boards. The data collection period lasted for one week, from March 4th to March 11th (2023). The landing page informed them about the goal and the data processing. After being informed, they could proceed to the article overview.

So far, the dataset has been used on top of BABE to train a linguistic bias classifier, adopting hyperparameter configurations from BABE with a pre-trained model from Hugging Face.The dataset will be open source. On acceptance, a link with all details and contact information will be provided. No third parties are involved.

The dataset will not be maintained as it captures the first test of NewsUnravel at a specific point in time. However, new datasets will arise from further iterations. Those will be linked in the repository. Please cite the NewsUnravel paper if you use the dataset and contact us if you're interested in more information or joining the project.

Databases of highly networked individuals have been indispensable in studying narratives and influence on social media. To support studies on Twitter in India, we present a systematically categorized database of accounts of influence on Twitter in India, identified and annotated through an iterative process of friends, networks, and self-described profile information, verified manually. We built an initial set of accounts based on the friend network of a seed set of accounts based on real-world renown in various fields, and then snowballed friends of friends\" multiple times, and rank ordered individuals based on the number of in-group connections, and overall followers. We then manually classified identified accounts under the categories of entertainment, sports, business, government, institutions, journalism, civil society accounts that have independent standing outside of social media, as well as a category ofdigital first" referring to accounts that derive their primary influence from online activity. Overall, we annotated 11580 unique accounts across all categories. The database is useful studying various questions related to the role of influencers in polarisation, misinformation, extreme speech, political discourse etc.

Introduction These three datasets are used in the analysis of human mobility research paper [1]. For each dataset, there are checkins info and friendshio info, Brightkite: "brightkite_checkins.csv" and "brightkite_friends.csv". Gowalla: "gowalla_checkins.csv" and "gowalla_friends.csv". Weeplaces: "weeplace_checkins.csv" and "weeplace_friends.csv" Basic Description BrightKite [2] is a LBSN service provider that allowed registered users to connect with their existing social ties and also meet new people based on the places that they go. Once a user "checked in" at a place, they could post notes and photos to a location and other users could comment on those posts. The social relationship network was collected using their public API. The raw dataset is from SNAP https://snap.stanford.edu/data/loc-brightkite.html. Gowalla [2] is a LBSN website where users share their locations by checking-in. In early versions of the service, users would occasionally receive a virtual "Item" as a bonus upon checking in, and these items could be swapped or dropped at other spots. Users became "Founders" of a spot by dropping an item there. This incentivises users to create new check-ins, not necessarily to check-in consistently at frequently visited locations. The social relationship network is undirected and was collected using their public API. The raw dataset is from SNAP https://snap.stanford.edu/data/loc-gowalla.html. Weeplaces --This is collected from Weeplaces and integrated with the APIs of other LBSN services, e.g., Facebook Places, Foursquare, and Gowalla. Users can login Weeplaces using their LBSN accounts and connect with their social ties in the same LBSN who have also used this application. Weeplaces visualizes your check-ins on a map. Unlike Gowalla, there is no direct incentive in Weeplaces to alter one's visitation habits or check-ins, so there should be a more accurate representation of a regular person's mobility patterns. The raw dataset is from the website https://www.yongliu.org/datasets/. More details can be found in the data description of paper [1].

This data contains a temporal, directed edgelist representing (to the best of our knowledge) all items of correspondence in the Tudor State Papers (1509-1603), which are the official government records of the Tudor period in England. The data covers State Papers Domestic and Foreign.

The dataset was created by first extracting the relevant XML metadata of the State Papers Online resource developed by Gale Cengage. We would like to acknowledge the help and support that Gale Cengage provided for our research. The XML metadata closely corresponds to the State Papers Calendars of the 19th century. These contain many ambiguities regarding the identities of people and places, resulting in an extensive effort on our part to disambiguate and de-duplicate person identities and places of writing. The details of this process can be found in our book (see citation above).

The dataset contains:

• 'letter_edgelist.tsv' - Directed temporal edge list of letters
• 'people_labels.tsv' - Key for the person IDs used in letter_edgelist.tsv
• 'place_labels.tsv' - Key for the place IDs used in letter_edgelist.tsv
• 'people_metadata.tsv' - Additional metadata and URIs for a subset of people
• 'places_metadata.tsv' - Geolocations and metadata for a large subset of places

In this post, I'll give you all the social media addiction statistics you need to be aware of to moderate your social media use.

As of April 2024, around 16.5 percent of global active Instagram users were men between the ages of 18 and 24 years. More than half of the global Instagram population worldwide was aged 34 years or younger.

              Teens and social media

              As one of the biggest social networks worldwide, Instagram is especially popular with teenagers. As of fall 2020, the photo-sharing app ranked third in terms of preferred social network among teenagers in the United States, second to Snapchat and TikTok. Instagram was one of the most influential advertising channels among female Gen Z users when making purchasing decisions. Teens report feeling more confident, popular, and better about themselves when using social media, and less lonely, depressed and anxious.
              Social media can have negative effects on teens, which is also much more pronounced on those with low emotional well-being. It was found that 35 percent of teenagers with low social-emotional well-being reported to have experienced cyber bullying when using social media, while in comparison only five percent of teenagers with high social-emotional well-being stated the same. As such, social media can have a big impact on already fragile states of mind.
