[Thread] Wow, this is all the Twitter traffic involving @PriyamvadaGopal over the past two days. Around 35000 interactions from around 15000 unique accounts. Obviously many of support, but much of it racist bile ImageImage
2/ Perhaps it is obvious, but worth highlighting with data. An analysis of biographical data reveals that the most coherent commonality of those tweeting about @PriyamvadaGopal are pro-Trump and pro-Brexit. Trump, MAGA, KAG (Keep America Great) are all very common terms Image
3/ Most of the tweets in the sample are obviously directed at @PriyamvadaGopal -but the second highest number are directed at @Cambridge_Uni - suggest a concerted campaign to 'report' Gopal to her employers. One of the most retweeted people harassing Gopal is > @Suffragentleman ImageImage
4/ Meanwhile, @MrNishKumar was one of the most retweeted people defending @PriyamvadaGopal in the wake of the right wing pile on. Image
5/ Here are some examples of the horrendous abuse. ImageImageImage
6/ A lot of accounts created in June. Often this can be an indicator of trolls, bots, or just people enthused to join twitter due to specific events. Haven't seen a spike like this for a while though. Image
7/ Anyway don't have much time to explore the data in detail but yes, the pile on against @PriyamvadaGopal was huge, driven by pro-Trump and pro-Brexit - right wing accounts (obviously we knew that).
