U.S. Navy proposes to come up with a global social media archive of a totally unprecedented scale. The data would be collected from a single social media platform and would comprise all publically available messages, comments, or posts transmitted on the platform over the specified time periods two-and-a-half years- from 7/1/2014 to 12/31/2016. Data would be used to study communication, the change in patterns of discourse, the evolution of slang etc.”]
