: In conducting our research on (MEvaluating Collective Action Theory-based Model to Simulate obs), we prioritize the fundamental principle of user privacy. All collected data undergoes a meticulous anonymization process to adhere to the highest standards of data protection laws, ensuring strict compliance with social media platform policies. Our commitment to privacy is unwavering, and we guarantee that none of our results could potentially disclose the identity of any account in the datasets, aligning with both ethical standards and platform guidelines. Our study aims to illuminate mob behavior while concurrently upholding the right to free speech in accordance with social media platforms’ content policies. The proposed methodology has been meticulously designed to identify such behavior, providing controlled intervention options for network service providers and policymakers. We are conscientious about minimizing errors to prevent unwarranted censorship and maintaining alignment with social media platforms’ policy framework. Rooted in ethical guidelines for scientific research, our investigation is conducted with honesty, transparency, and careful ethical supervision. We believe that our work holds the potential for positive social impact and is dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards throughout the research process.
