Scope and legal
Public is not free for all. Platforms' terms limit automated collection, and data protection law still applies
to public posts. Collect only the accounts and posts your question needs, and the minimum from each.
No sock puppets by default. Everything here works without logging in. Creating fake accounts to see private
content breaks most platforms' terms and, in some jurisdictions and professions, the law or your code of conduct.
Don't interact. Don't follow, like, message or view stories in a way that notifies the account owner.
People in the background. Photos and comments include third parties. Leave them out of your report unless they
are part of the question.
