Social Media Monetization Research Masterclass

Over the past few years, WHAT TO FIX has pioneered a range of methodologies and unique resources and datasets to support research on social media monetisation and investigations into how social platforms’ monetisation systems can contribute to the spread of inauthentic, harmful, misleading and abusive content and behaviour.
They are now inviting expressions of interest from journalists, fact-checkers, researchers, academics, investigators, litigators, regulators and other public-interest actors interested in incorporating monetisation evidence into their work.
