By: Alexei Sisulu AbrahamsLearn to build a web app that can monitor millions of posts across all social media platforms to chart public opinion in real time.
Social media has become our modern-day agora, the place where we get our news and engage in political discourse. With disinformation, hate speech, foreign interference, authoritarianism, market monopolization, and political polarization all on the rise, monitoring social media in the public interest has never been so difficult nor so urgent. Social Media Exposed is an in-depth beginner’s guide to coding full-stack web applications in Python to track and analyze social media activity at scale, giving you unparalleled insights into the cultural and political conversations of our time, then empowering you to reach your own conclusions.
You’ll start by coding a web app to monitor Russian disinformation channels discussing Ukraine on Telegram, then learn more adversarial methods to scrape the Wayback Machine, Instagram, and TikTok. You’ll detect Twitter bots following Saudi influencers, extract text-embedded URLs to reveal a white supremacist blogosphere, parse archived tweets to reveal the discourse leading up to the January 6 insurrection, and learn to circumvent Meta's and ByteDance's defenses to scrape Instagram and TikTok, collecting evidence of war crimes in the Middle East. Finally, you’ll write an API and deploy your observatory to a cloud server to collaborate with other investigators. By the end of the book, you’ll have a working website that allows collaborators to log in, request data collection, and perform analysis of collected data, via a point-and-click interface.
Along the way, you’ll learn to:
- Use Python and RabbitMQ to retrieve Telegram data from a remote API
- Store data with PostgreSQL and query it with SQLAlchemy
- Analyze the data you’ve retrieved with Pandas, NetworkX, Gephi, and other tools
- Use state-of-the-art AI tools to transcribe audio and classify text
- Deploy a website with an interactive dashboard using FastAPI, Dash, Cytoscape, Uvicorn, Gunicorn, Nginx, AWS, and Let’s Encrypt
- Containerize your apps with Docker and provision infrastructure with Pulumi
Whether you’re a citizen scientist, a security researcher, a journalist, an activist, or a scholar, Social Media Exposed is an essential blueprint for building your window into online worlds.

Good, inexpensive work watch
Color: all black watch
Bought as a working watch so I don’t wreck my good watches. It’s been working just fine and holding up well while not taking very good care of it. Keeps accurate time. Glass has stayed clear. Black finish looks good and is holding up well. Seems to hold up with steady pounding.
Stop watch buttons are a bit crude and will mess up your time when your hand gets pushed back against it during hard labor. However, I have not babied this watch at all.

Color: all black watch
It’s not an ugly watch, but I did not think the watch looked as nice in person This watch lost several minutes over a few months. It is light and feels cheap. However, it was not expensive, it’s comfortable to wear and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
