What is Arbiter?

Making sense of the endless number of narratives across communities like X, Instagram, Reddit, and any social media platform is challenging. Narratives fragment as they spread online. A story about the 24-hour news cycle can start on one platform and take on a whole new meaning on another.

So, how do you trace a narrative when it splinters into dozens of variations across platforms?
