Source TypeBenefitsDrawbacks Example: Social mediaExample: This information canprovide immediate feedbackabout what is happening withina particular area or a particulargroup in real time, so thosegathering information can makefaster decisions.Example: This information could be manipulated by local governments, so the information posted may not accurately reflect the feelings of the people involved or the actual events that are occurring on the ground. 1.
