Schwurbelwatch (school project)

Due: 31.01.2021

The project is canceled for an indefinite period of time

Schwurbelwatch is a telegram channel monitoring system for known german telegram conspiracy theory channels. It analyzes the channels in terms of deletion behavior (which messages are deleted when) and on user behavior (different bubbles / bots).
It looks whether a pattern is recognizable, or whether there are similarities between the channels (always the same members, how is information scattered etc.).

Following software/languages will probably be used:

Container

• Docker (-Compose)
  • (for dockerizing the complete application)

Languages

• Java
  • (for providing the main telegram api, saving messages, ...)
• NodeJS (Internal / External Api)
  • (connection between message-crawler / frontend <-> database)
• Python
  • (For internal tools
  • and data analysis)

Web

• Nginx
  • (for load balancing)
• Angular
  • (Frontend)

Databases

• MariaDB
  • (as the main database)
• Redis
  • (caching)
• MongoDB
  • (for storing raw messages)

DB
