Data Collection
Note: as of 2026, Meta is the only company releasing such data.
Data Processing
Did we make any changes to the data? We wish all we had to do was consolidate the files into a database. But the truth is, Meta’s raw data files were far from perfect, and we had to set up validation and correction steps.
We did it all computationally and published the code on GitHub, so that it can be independently audited.
Data Quality Issues
Contrary to its stated commitment, Meta does not release lists daily. We also failed to capture files on certain dates.
Solution: We defaulted to using the date of the last known file in lieu of a session’s end_date.
Limitation: Sessions’ end_date may be a few days earlier than the real end_date.

Limitation: Sessions’ end_date may be a few days earlier than the real end_date.
We ran into different versions of the same language (e.g. Bengali/Bangla, Punjabi/Panjabi, Sinhalese/Sinhala) and country.
Solution: We standardized the fields as part of our data processing flow.
Limitation: Those fields may no longer match those from the Meta raw data.

We encountered a number of entries which lacked an ID, making them impossible to process.
Solution: We disregarded these entries in the archive.
Limitation: The total number of records on impacted days may no longer match the Meta raw data.

Until 2020-10-04, the date_added field was framed as “new in the last 30 days” with the option of a “no” input.
Solution: We applied an algorithm to deduce missing date_added fields based on later data.
Limitation: For a limited number of early pages, which did not monetize for long, we lacked a specific date_added. If the account was marked as active for more than 30 days on 2019-10-25, we defaulted to a date_added of 2019-09-25.

We faced a number of different types of errors with the date_added field, which is meant to reflect the latest date of onboarding. This included date_added predating the existence of the platform/program, date_added in the future, and date_added contradicting the record of inclusion in disclosures files.
Solution: we applied an algorithm to correct the various identified errors.

We encountered a number of records which, upon inspection, did not appear to be live on the platform at the time of their disclosure. These records shared a consistent pattern, with their account name (publisher), handle (username) and subscribers being empty.
