Countering the Economic Effects of #CoronaVirus through Mass Adoption of Crypto: the perfect mission for a trio of (mostly automated) Twitter accounts. #FridayFeeling #SpringSpam

cc: @ZellaQuixote
This network consists of three accounts: @MoneyMasterX, @MutindaKisio, and @EmpaWeringYouth, all automated via The Social Jukebox and Twittimer with occasional organic tweets. (@EmpaweringYouth hasn't used Social Jukebox for 3 weeks and differs slightly in other ways too.)
The mission of this group of accounts appears to be to promote a change(dot)org petition calling for people to drive up the value of the Empowr cryptocurrency, which will somehow do something to counter the negative economic consequences of the #COVID19 pandemic. #HugeGrainOfSalt
Due to the spammy petition links, change(dot)org is the website most frequently linked by this group of accounts. Welcomes(dot)college is only linked in older automated tweets from @EmpaweringYouth. The accounts also repetitively tweet random cryptocurrency factoids.

What sort of accounts link #antivax websites on Twitter? We took a look at recent tweets linking 25 different websites that frequently feature anti-vaccine content; here's what we found. #MakingInfectiousDiseasesGreatAgain #WednesdayWisdom

First off, the accounts linking antivax sites appear to be overwhelmingly right-wing, based on the hashtags in their profiles. #MAGA, #WWG1WGA, #KAG, #Trump2020, #QAnon, and #2A are the most frequently used, with plenty of other Q-related hashtags in the mix too. #QAnonsense
Retweet network for the 25 antivax sites. @LotusOak2 is the most oft-retweeted account, and also the one with the most varied repertoire, with links to 17 different anti-vaccine websites. @RobertKennedyJR and our old propaganda pal @Ian56789 show up too (it's been a while!)

We started looking for automated accounts tweeting or retweeting links to #antivax sites, and childrenshealthdefense(dot)com delivered something interesting (although not actually vaccine-related, as it turns out.) What's myGoodBot?

cc: @ZellaQuixote
The tweets linking childrenshealthdefense(dot)com sent via the MyGoodBot app are all retweets of a @WeRaTruRepublic Bill Gates conspiracy theory tweet. These retweets happened very quickly - 20 in the span of two seconds.
These 20 retweets are from a 20 account botnet that fires off a batch of retweets via MyGoodBot seven times a day (3 hour gaps between most batches.) All 20 accounts retweet the same set of tweets. What are they amplifying?

Right-wing groups have been organizing protests against the stay-at-home/quarantine orders put into place by various states to combat the spread of the novel #coronavirus. We took a look at the hashtags promoting these events. #AltWankers #Covidiocy

cc: @ZellaQuixote
We downloaded a week's worth of tweets containing all permutations of #Open, #OpenUp, #Reopen, #Liberate, or #Free followed by a state name (250 hashtags total), yielding 55095 tweets from 34787 accounts. #FreeMichigan was first to achieve significant volume, on April 15th.
Which states do hashtag-happy Twitter accounts want reopened so that citizens may exercise their hypothetical right to contract and spread #COVID19 unhindered? Texas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, and Virginia were the most frequently hashtagged.
