Pro-democracy platform advocacy: A dataset of public Facebook content

An anonymised dataset of metadata and coding on public Facebook content posted during March - April 2024. We first looked for public Facebook accounts or keywords associated with Myanmar, Cambodian, and Thai authoritarian content, including pro-regime propaganda, anti-dissident disinformation, promotion of anti-dissident violence, or anti-dissident doxing content. We used CrowdTangle – Meta's own social media monitoring tool – to capture content on a daily basis based on our list of authoritarian accounts and keywords. This dataset includes metadata on random samples of 2000 Myanmar posts, 2000 Thai posts, and 2000 Cambodian posts with qualitative coding. This dataset does not contain original social media posts or their identifying information such as URLs, authors' names, or channels' names.
