Policy and communication responses to COVID-19 can benefit
from better understanding of people’s baseline and resulting

survey. Based on input from our team, Facebook provides weights to
reduce bias due to nonresponse and to target each country’s adult or
Internet-using population, rather than just Facebook
users. Aggregated statistics are available via our dashboards, JHU’s
dashbaords, and our public API. Microdata is available for
researchers via data use agreements with Facebook and MIT.[…]
