Hi Fatima, We made some data about misinformation images from India and Brazil and their sharing patterns available recently. https://zenodo.org/record/3779157 Hope it's helpful. On Fri, Aug 7, 2020 at 11:13 AM F N <fatima.n82@gmail.com> wrote:

While WhatsApp itself doesn't seem to make a distinction between public and private groups, there are many researchers who make such a distinction

Dear All,

Can anyone provide any links to existing protocols for archiving hate speech and misinformation in public WhatsApp groups? Generally researchers export chat list. Are there instances where institutions or universities have incorporated such chats into their archives after removing the phone numbers in the export list?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm not an expert in WhatsApp archiving protocols, but I would suggest looking at some of the resources offered by Documenting the Now( https://www.docnow.io/). DtN develops tools and builds community practices that support the ethical collection, use, and preservation of social media content.
