Twitter bot

[cuducos]

As Rosie can automatically read and analyze data from the Chamber of Deputies, and as she'll do it periodically, she could post a tweet every time she finds something suspicious.

The plans with the twitter bot is to tweet when she finds something suspicious and updates about her development.

Is there someone already working on it? I'd love to help with that

Re-reading this thread I realized I'm not convinced that this is indeed a smart move. What Rosie finds is only a suspicion and making it public can make room for lawsuits on basis of crimes agains honor. Is spite of that, AFAIK there's no one on it, @jonasagx.

What are the next steps after something is labeled suspicious? It'd be great to make it socially public when something wrong was found.

You question is a bit tricky: something suspicious is not necessarily something wrong.

The way we've found (so far) to deal with that is to only make it explicitly public when we know something is actually wrong. So what we do is we report suspicious cases to the Chamber of Deputies (as describes here and here) and make them explicitly public once we have a response from them (as in here).

Meanwhile the suspicions are already available on Jarbas.

It makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. I'd like to help somehow on the project. So I was exploring open issues. Let me know how I can help you guys.

Many thanks for the enthusiasm, @jonasagx — and I'm sorry if my response discouraged your collaboration, that definitively was not my point. I just think that this bot might be problematic from the point of view of the law. But that is not written in stone ; ) Feel free to try something out, or to browser other issues in our repos.

@cuducos there is one example on how to use the Tweepy api on my repo. If you need help with this, you can tell me!

It's alive, thanks @Irio ; )
