The Digital Society Project (DSP) aims to answer some of the most important questions surrounding interactions between the internet and politics. We fulfill this aim by providing high-quality, publicly available, data describing the intersection between politics and social media in countries around the world. While there is great demand for such data, reliable measures of key indicators, with wide global and temporal coverage, are largely unavailable. Our cross-national data cover topics such as: • online censorship • polarization and politicization of social media • disinformation campaigns • coordinated information operations • foreign influence in and monitoring of domestic politics. • candidate social media presence
