social media data

Social media has become a significant platform for information dissemination. This study uses X (formerly known as Twitter) to analyze the key characteristics of information that goes viral on social media. A viral tweet is defined as one that receives 1,000 or more retweets. Data were collected from three Malaysian news channels (501Awani, BernamaTV, and fmtoday) between January and October 2024.

This data collection focuses on capturing user-generated content from the popular social network Reddit during the year 2023. This dataset comprises 29 user-friendly CSV files collected from Reddit, containing textual data associated with various emotions and related concepts.
