Learn to build a web app that can monitor millions of posts across all social media platforms to chart public opinion in real time.

Social media has become our modern-day agora, the place where we get our news and engage in political discourse. With disinformation, hate speech, foreign interference, authoritarianism, market monopolization, and political polarization all on the rise, monitoring social media in the public interest has never been so difficult nor so urgent. Social Media Exposed is an in-depth beginner’s guide to coding full-stack web applications in Python to track and analyze social media activity at scale, giving you unparalleled insights into the cultural and political conversations of our time, then empowering you to reach your own conclusions.

You’ll start by coding a web app to monitor Russian disinformation channels discussing Ukraine on Telegram, then learn more adversarial methods to scrape the Wayback Machine, Instagram, and TikTok. You’ll detect Twitter bots following Saudi influencers, extract text-embedded URLs to reveal a white supremacist blogosphere, parse archived tweets to reveal the discourse leading up to the January 6 insurrection, and learn to circumvent Meta's and ByteDance's defenses to scrape Instagram and TikTok, collecting evidence of war crimes in the Middle East. Finally, you’ll write an API and deploy your observatory to a cloud server to collaborate with other investigators. By the end of the book, you’ll have a working website that allows collaborators to log in, request data collection, and perform analysis of collected data, via a point-and-click interface. 

Along the way, you’ll learn to:
  • Use Python and RabbitMQ to retrieve Telegram data from a remote API
  • Store data with PostgreSQL and query it with SQLAlchemy
  • Analyze the data you’ve retrieved with Pandas, NetworkX, Gephi, and other tools
  • Use state-of-the-art AI tools to transcribe audio and classify text
  • Deploy a website with an interactive dashboard using FastAPI, Dash, Cytoscape, Uvicorn, Gunicorn, Nginx, AWS, and Let’s Encrypt
  • Containerize your apps with Docker and provision infrastructure with Pulumi

Whether you’re a citizen scientist, a security researcher, a journalist, an activist, or a scholar, Social Media Exposed is an essential blueprint for building your window into online worlds.

My Dog Loves Them
I have a smallish dog and for some reason he loves these squeaky lobsters. It takes him about 1 year to destroy one. They are a good buy.

Great Customer service
Color: Blue Bone
After reading my review that my toy contained no squeaker, I was contacted by the seller. They are sending me a new toy. I appreciate their support. The toy I received is well made it is just missing the squeaking that my dog loves.

Important!: Note the Size. These are TINY Toys.
The most important thing is to double (or triple!) check the size before ordering. I got the lobster, and though it looks small in the photos, it's much tinier in person. The image with the measurements lists in centimeters first, so it's super easy to give it a glance, assume it's in inches, and move on. Despite knowing the size, when I took it out of the package I assumed I was sent the wrong product, as it looks like one of those mini stuffies people hang on their car rearview mirror. Aside from sizing, what you see is what you get and it looks like the photos as far as coloring, material, etc.

12 year old lab loves these
Color: Pink Pig
I have a 12 year old lab that things she’s still a puppy. She’s always been a chewer and these have held up surprisingly well. They’re the perfect size for my big lab and so far they’re all in one piece.
