Trolling, or social media behavior that is uncivil and provocative is one of the most potent sources of political polarization today. You may have heard the expression, "don't feed the trolls," but how do you know if you are interacting with one? Answer as many of the questions you can about another social media user below, and our models will create a prediction about the likelihood that they are a political troll (an extremist who engages in uncivil behavior designed to antagonize the other side).

Salt Lake City's govtech innovation program is focused on modernization and digital equity for residents. "Another area the department will focus on is integrating the city’s “Digital Equity For All” policy. Passed in September 2020, the policy aims to provide residents with the opportunity to access and use information and communication technologies reliably. The resolution, which was inspired by the importance of technology during the pandemic, aims to incorporate three concepts: relevant content, services, hardware and digital literacy into the city’s policymaking. To achieve this, the department will: increase usage and understanding of digital and communications technology address potential barriers to digital inclusion address the need for digital literacy training address the need for access via reliable and affordable devices address the need for language and disability accommodations develop relevancy and advocacy campaigns within specific communities and populations" https://www.govtech.com/gov-experience/Salt-Lake-City-Mayor-Announces-New-Innovation-Department.html
