The sharechat-scraper repository contains code and documentation for scraping public content from Sharechat, a popular multilingual Indian social network. Read about our motivations for scraping Sharechat on the blog
Tattle is collecting content that goes viral on these public WhatsApp groups. There are a number of approaches that can be used to extract content. Currently we're working on archiving content using the 'export chat' feature. [Repository Link] (https://github.com/tattle-made/whatsapp-scraper)
The fact-checking sites scraper crawls IFCN certified fact checking sites. The fact-checking sites dataset is the first dataset to be opened. The repo documentation contains more details about scraping content from fact-checking sites.

Archiving relevant content is a two-step process. The first step is data collection from various sources. The second is identifying potential misinformation in the data. We're experimenting with various approaches to try and solve this problem.

Not all content that is collected from social media should be stored (think Good morning messages!) This working group discusses what content should be stored, not be stored, data collection policy and retention policy. This group discovers questions that are relevant to the process of archiving.

How should we open and share content from social media without amplifying misinformation? This group is exploring strategies to inform the UI of the archive and search products.

One of the use cases of Tattle's data collection and search tools is a service such as Khoj that lets users verify a specific post that they receive on a chat app or a social media platform. The specific content that a user searches for may not have been checked by a fact-checking site, or the search might fail in surfacing the relevant content. This group is going to explore ways of engaging these users in some capacity in verification.
This group meets weekly via video calls on every Friday at 3 pm. Email us at [email protected] to receive an invite to the video call.

We've always intended our tools and services to be selected and used in an à la carte manner. Instead of providing users with one big software suite that they must run, we build our services as small servers that do one specific job. This allows users to cherry pick what they like and only run those. Running such a flexible infrastructure reliably comes with its own DevOps challenges that we've had to solve along the way. The DevOps group can be reached out for any help in deploying our services.
