Hi all,
I'm seeking the collective wisdom of the Data Services Discussion Group: A student would like to deposit a small dataset of public responses (interviews, reviews, tweets, etc.) to films in our IR. The dataset contains variables like the names of films reviewed, the general sentiment expressed (positive/negative/mixed), URL, and platform the review was retrieved from. My reading of the Terms of Service for many of the platforms (Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, etc.) is that data collection and sharing from their sites would go against these terms. I wonder if this is too restrictive an interpretation?
Can anyone share resources for collecting and disseminating social media data, or how you have addressed them in the past?
Thank you,
Cecilia
