Facebook does not make reach data available to researchers so researchers often turn to CrowdTangle, a tool owned by Facebook. This August, Facebook cut off this group of researchers’ access to this data by saying continuing to give third party researchers access to the data could violate a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission that it entered into following the Cambridge Analytica scandal. FTC pointed this rebuttal as “inaccurate”.
