Call for Participation: Internet Political Trolls Collection Project 2016
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/001151.html
It's no secret that vile political trolls remain massively at large in
the social media landscape during this USA 2016 presidential election
season.
But who are they? Who are their targets? Who do they support? What are
the specific aspects of their attacks in social media comments and their
other postings?
I've begun a survey to collect some detailed data on these and related
questions from anyone who has themselves observed politically-oriented
trolls on social media. It should take only a few minutes to complete,
and you can return as often as desired to report additional trolls.
Your participation (and that of anyone else with whom you feel
comfortable sharing this survey for their participation) will be greatly
appreciated.
I consider individual survey responses to be private and will only
publicly report aggregate and summary data from this effort.
The survey -- "Internet Political Trolls Collection Project (USA 2016)" --
is at:

Thanks very much!
Be seeing you.
And please don't feed the trolls!
