The authors plan on selling the "tools" to police departments, those "tools" being the exact same kind of analysis as this report, but again and for more money.
Word clouds are actually a surprising effective tactic when it comes to sentiment analysis as it relates to generating advertiser profiles and other things like content recommendation.
But this study is using it in the opposite way of that. I.e. the phrase acab can be used to determine if a forum is leftist or or not because pre identified leftist spaces use that phrase, it cannot be applied to say this is what leftists are.
you mean word clouds aren't a valid method of analyzing data?
