[Air-L] Seeking extremist social media content

[Charles M. Ess]

Dear Catherine, copy to Maura,

you should be in touch with Maura, who has directed the VOXPOL project 
for the past 4+ years.  I'm not sure how much of the data they have 
collected may be available, etc. - but Maura can sort that out with you.

best of luck!
