Abstract
In this report we provide an overview of the kinds of data academics need in order to conduct independent research into political online safety matters on social media platforms, and the challenges they currently face. Additionally, we put forward ideas regarding novel governance structures that would enable high-quality independent research, while protecting users’ rights and data privacy, in the United Kingdom.
