Social media shapes our everyday lives. Through our continuous online presence, we constantly consume and share content. This vast amount of data offers unprecedented insights into diverse areas such as disaster management, epidemiology, and disinformation processes that threaten democracy. This project visualizes these dynamics, promoting critical discourse at the intersection of AI technologies, social media, and democratic processes.
