Purpose & Principles

What is the Political Terror Database (PTDB)?

We track, contextualize, and surface posts that threaten democratic participation. Our goal is to collect data to study the patterns.

Log and surface politically violent rhetoric so journalists, researchers, and citizens can see the bigger picture—fast.

Aggregate public posts, enrich with metadata, and expose a searchable, chronological feed with source links.

Every item is traceable back to its original context. We include timestamps, notes, and provenance where available.

We apply clear inclusion criteria and minimize personal data collection. We do not publish private content.
