Dataset - Research Project: AI and the Far-Right riots in the UK

This dataset was used for the research project AI and the Far-Right Riots in the UK, funded by the LSE Urgency Grant Scheme and hosted by the Department of Media and Communications. It comprises all posts and corresponding engagement metrics (views, likes, comments, and shares) from two X accounts actively involved in the riots that brought fear and violence to several UK cities in summer 2024. All posts and engagement metrics were manually collected for the period between 4 July and 4 August 2024. Only the account names are disclosed, in accordance with ethical clearance requirements.
