This dataset is for the paper titled “Tracking and Characterizing the
Competition of Fact Checking and Misinformation: Case Studies” by Chengcheng shao et al.

Please note that we cannot provide full tweet objects due to the Twitter
policies. Sometimes the tweets could be deleted and the accounts could be
suspended. Thus you may not re-fetch some tweets in the file we provided.
To be compliance with Twitter policies, as well as the replication
of the analysis, we tried our best to provide the neccessary fields, e.g., `id` of
the tweet, `id` of the user, and even for the json fields path like
`{retweeted_status, id}` (named as `retweeted_status_id` in the file).
