This project helps researchers and policymakers understand how fear-inducing messages are used in online group chats, specifically on platforms like WhatsApp. It takes raw message data and provides insights into the characteristics of "fear speech," how it spreads, and its potential impact. It's designed for social scientists, political analysts, and policy researchers studying online polarization and its real-world consequences.

Use this if you are analyzing large volumes of social media or messaging app data and need to identify and characterize fear speech, understand its spread, and explore its potential societal impact.

Not ideal if you are looking for a plug-and-play solution to automatically moderate or filter content in real-time, as this is a research toolkit for analysis rather than an operational content moderation system.
