[Air-L] Looking for Right Wing and Extremist Forums for Web Scraping

[Zeerak Talat]

Hey,

There’s also the classic: stormfront. If you don’t care too much about how old the data is, you could look at the /pol/ datasets that exist? Like https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.07487

Hi Rod,

Have you tried Gab? I have scraped data from there. Not a huge amount due to the fringe nature of the site. But I'm not sure how far you can trace back.

Cheers,

Does anyone know of a web forum (or even an open-to-the-public Facebook or
Reddit page) where Right and Far-Right politics are being discussed? These
are remarkably hard to find! I am looking for spaces that have been in
operation for at least a few years so I can chart changes over time.
