Communalytic is a portmanteau of community and analytic. Communalytic is actually a modern version of our first social media research tool, Netlytic.org. That research tool ran for 18 years and was used in thousands of research publications.

Meta is now removing content related to abortion. Last week, it was LGBTQ+ content. When we say porn is the canary in the coal mine of free speech, it's not because we're narcissists. It's gd warning about what's coming ... for you. All speech that is politically disfavored is at risk.
