Have you used our tools such as @Botometer, Hoaxy, and Fakey? They will stop working soon once @Twitter discontinues free access to the API. This decision will affect many research projects and useful tools including those by @OSoMe_IU.

Our tools are free for all. Thousands of users daily leverage them to identify manipulation & study online narratives. If Twitter charges for the API, even at a very low price, we will have to terminate the tools or charge for use, excluding most users.

Without free @Twitter API, we won't be able to teach students in our classrooms how to study social media. Fakey, which helps students learn to recognize fake news, will also die, as will other tools (BotAmp, CoVaxxy, Midterm Elections dashboard, etc.)
