This session will introduce Trust and Safety researchers to the Meta Content Library and demonstrate new data fields and functionalities available within the latest version of Meta Content Libraryʼs user interface (UI) and API. The hands-on demonstration will deploy research use cases to demonstrate how the data from the API and the UI can be used to shed light on questions relevant to trust and safety researchers. We will also provide an overview for how individuals and research teams can apply for access to these tools, as well as provide an opportunity for attendees to share feedback with us about our products and services.
Meta Content Library gives researchers comprehensive access to posts, videos, photos, and reels posted to public Pages, Groups, and Events on Facebook. For Instagram, the library includes content from public posts, albums, videos, and photos from personal, creator and business accounts. Robust metadata about each of these data types (e.g. view count, reshares, reactions, etc.) enables in-depth quantitative and qualitative analysis.
Facilitated by Yair Rubenstein and Phil Edwards, Meta
