"Fora Temer" signs popped up at various points inside Maracanã Stadium, site of men's and women's soccer and the opening and closing ceremonies at the recent Rio Summer Olympics. Fans holding signs with the slogan — which translates to "Temer Out" — wanted the removal of Michel Temer, Brazil's interim president.

Before news outlets reported these relatively minor protests, clients of location-based social intelligence platform company Geofeedia were alerted through social media posts. If an incident of violence or terror were to arise at the Rio Olympics — which generated more social media posts than any prior Games — these companies and organizations had the assurance that they would know about it immediately, helping VIPs and fans alike feel safe and secure.
