PSA: There is no way for an app to track who visits your profile, and one should be wary of apps that demand access to one's Twitter account. #ThatsAHardNo

DO NOT visit the linked site or sign into it with your account.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
We downloaded tweets linking to the app in question (site name is in the chart - once again, be careful), yielding 15433 tweets from 6753 accounts in 10 days. The spikiness is due to the tweets being posted by the app, which appears to fire at specific times of the day.
We didn't go so far as to actually log into the app in question with a Twitter account, but the list of permissions it demands is scary: the ability to tweet/follow on one's behalf, alter one's profile, and access one's DMs. Also, there's the drive-by malware download.

Let's take a gander at the recent spread of the hashtag #ADOS. We began by downloading the most recent ten days worth of tweets, yielding 74190 tweets from 11844 accounts.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
Looking further back, the hashtag has been around for a long time (although the older traffic is unrelated to the current usage). Volume began to pick up in January and kicked into high gear in early February.
We didn't find much in the way of automation for #ADOS tweets, but looking at the accounts reveals something else interesting. There's a spike in account creation since the New Year, matching the time period where the hashtag took off.

As a sequel of sorts to this thread, we embarked on a similar analysis of tweets containing "Russophobia", "Russophobic", "Russophobia", or "anti-Russian".

)
We ended up finding tweets containing Russophobia etc going all the way back to April 2007, although the volume doesn't take off until early 2014 (hmmm. . .). The very first tweet is a false positive - the word "russophobe" is in the name of a blog. archive.is/7SSaW
Here are the first twenty accounts with on-topic tweets containing "Russophobia", "Russophobic", "Russophobia", or "anti-Russian" along with the tweets in question. The 2008 Russia/Georgia war is a theme of several.

Don't tell YourNewsWire (or whatever the factual duck that site is called now), but there's a new(ish) fake news site stealing their thunder. Let's take a look at "The Washington Pundit" (thewashingtonpundit(dot)com).

cc: @ZellaQuixote
We downloaded tweets linking to thewashingtonpundit(dot)com, yielding 50750 tweets from 23400 accounts in the last 10 days. The site's "official" account, @TWPundit, is the largest node in the network.
Going further back, @TWPundit is also the first account ever to link to the site (back on Jan 11, 2018). The site receives random spikes in traffic starting in June 2018, with a high volume of steady activity beginning in January 2019.

It's become popular to complain about twitter censorship (just saw a post about someone complaining of the grave injustice of being blocked for 12 hours), and both left and right tend to tie this to broad society ills. For the passionate, consider also those improperly jailed.
2/ as bad as temporarily (or even permanently) losing access to one's twitter account may be, there are hundreds of thousands of Americans who can't physically access a computer, who truly have lost their ability to "speak", without being convicted of a crime.
3/ I'm referring to a broad variety of troubling (and longstanding) flaws in our criminal justice system. One large and serious one is the bail system. Almost 500,000 people are currently in jail awaiting trial, many because they can't afford bail. aclu.org/blog/smart-jus…

So for the first time in quite a while a newcomer hashtag had top spot on the #Hamilton68 Dashboard -- #walkaway. We remembered seeing this hashtag in the past few weeks but didnt really know what it was or follow up on it. #infosec #opsec dashboard.securingdemocracy.org
The background story on this hashtag #walkaway is a little strange & the number of bots, trolls, & fake testimonial promoting this hashtag is even stranger. Here's an example of a completely fake tweet highlighted by @daveweigel #opsec #infosec
We decided to look retrospectively at our own reverse engineered #Hamilton68 data. This is a wordcloud of 22893 tweets from our main Hamilton68 troll subset going from June 24th until now & #walkaway takes the #1 spot. #infosec #opsec
