1/2 Important Update: A probable 'Saudi-based' bot/troll/sockpuppet (inorganic) network that I identified back in November 2019 after it was mentioned by @Buenen seems to have l largely been suspended. Around 1,000 accounts were suspended. I don't know
2/2 if these accounts were part of Twitter's December takedown. I suspect not as I am sure some were still active after that takedown took place. I will cross check where possible. This thread was more unusual in its tweeting behaviour than its metadata profile. See thread 👆
Quick addition. Clearly they missed a bunch though, maybe even 1 - 2000. Including one of my favourites - Hugo Ponce 7. He is still alive and well.

It would seem that of @realDonaldTrump 's own last 60 Tweets, the more popular are those that are related to Iran. Top Graph is Retweets, bottom is likes, height of graphs = number. Bottom axis is date. Orange columns are tweets mentioning Iran, blue are tweets in Persian
Red tweets don't mention Iran. One could logically deduce that from this that Trump's tweets that pertained to a possible war with Iran were more popular when war seemed more imminent. His more recent tweets (to the right) mentioning Iran are less popular. Kinda make sense
Bear in mind this is only his last 60 tweets so hard to draw big conclusions. But it makes sense that being on the brink of war brings in those sweet sweet RTs

Some strange, but unsurprising things about the incredibly voluminous hashtag "Iranians Detest Soleimani" (via @maasalan ), I sampled around 60,000 tweets from around 9753 account using the hashtag. The most common noun among biographies was "Make America Great Again" & "Trump"
@maasalan 2/ Interestingly, 13% of all the accounts I analysed contained either Trump, MAGA, KAG, WWG1WGA, Qanon, in the bios. This highlights once again that the online right wing MAGA movement is boosting the trend that seeks to indicate that Iranians actually hated Soleimani #propaganda
@maasalan 3/ Incidentally the sample was from around 16:00 UTC on 6th January until 7th January

[Follow up Thread on Iraq] 1/ Given my thread today I thought it would be curious to revisit one I did back in October 2019. You can see the thread below. The question I wanted to answer, how many of those accounts no longer exist?
2/ The original thread analysed a hashtag that included "save the Iraqi people". It also advocated the right for peaceful protest. At the time I noted that a large amount of the accounts in the sample had been created in a 3 day period, October 1st - 3rd. Using Tweetbeaver
3/ We can bulk up look old accounts on Tweet Beaver to see if they have either been deleted, renamed, or suspended. What we find is interesting. In my old sample I selected 836 accounts that had been created between October 1st & Oct4th 2019. Tweetbeaver returned only 609.

Looks like Iranian authorities are moving to block Iranians access to the global internet.

Actually they did. I do not have access to my VPS in Iran any more.

In #Saudi Arabia, land of the “emancipator of women,” you are jailed, tortured and put on trial if you are a women’s rights activists. And you get arrested if you are related to those activists or if you support them. time.com/5564838/saudi-…
-Khadijah al-Harbi,feminist writer who is pregnant & husband Thumar al-Marzouqi,writer
-Salah al-Haidar,whose mother women’s rights activist Aziza al-Yousef is on trial
-Badr al-Ibrahim,writer & physician
-Mohammed al-Sadiq & Abdullah al-Dehailan,writers
-Fahad Abalkhail,activist
The arrests are the latest reminder that de facto leader #Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman does not give a fuck about international condemnation of his brutality.

Since Rahaf’s escape, the #Saudi regime and its media have been conflating women escaping male guardianship with men who join violent extremist groups like ISIS & al-qaeda. Feminism is a form of terrorism, says this ad by the Saudi counter-extremism agency
Feminism as Terrorism

FEMINIST GIANT rant on the #Saudi regime and its media’s propaganda against feminism

As part of its reaction to Rahaf’s escape, the #Saudi regime is propagating that feminists are recruiting and luring daughters. Saudi feminists have been threatened. Below I’m accused by a #Saudi regime troll of using tactics similar to ISIS and al-Qaeda to recruite girls.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
