This project tracks far-right and far-right-adjacent accounts on Twitter.
Each daily report includes three tables:
- A list of tracked accounts identified as suspended on that day, sorted by their centrality to far-right networks.
- A list of tracked accounts identified as having changed their screen name on that day.
- A list of untracked accounts identified as suspended on that day, sorted by follower count.
In this context a tracked account is one that is identified as having connections to far-right networks on Twitter. The presence of an account on this list does not indicate that it is identified as supporting far-right causes or spreading far-right content, just that it has connections to far-right networks.
The third table only includes suspended untracked accounts with more than 1000 followers. These are often bots or spam accounts.
Suspension (and suspension reversal) dates indicate when the change in account status was detected, which in some cases may be up to several days after the change occurred.
- Total number of suspensions detected: 656499
- Total number of suspension reversals detected: 54672
- Mean number of followers for suspended accounts: 1215.7
- Median number of followers for suspended accounts: 39.0
- Mean age of suspended accounts (days): 1153.46
- Median age of suspended accounts (days): 365.0
- Total number of verified accounts suspended: 215
- Total number of protected accounts suspended: 41077
- Total number of suspensions for accounts previously withheld in specific countries: 54
- Total number of screen name changes detected: 966283
