Meta will soon allow researchers to access Instagram and Facebook data for research

Meta has just announced that they will start allowing eligible candidates to access Instagram and Facebook data in an attempt to promote ‘public interest research’. The company had already rolled out the Meta Content Library and the corresponding API tools for beta testing, but now, users will be able to access real-time information on the user-generated content that is uploaded on the two platforms.
