Soft Moderation Interventions on Twitter

The repository contains a dataset of tweets that received soft moderation interventions (i.e., warning labels) from Twitter. We make publicly available the tweet ids and the attached warning labels. For more information about the data collection see this paper.

Data Organization

The dataset consists of the tweet ids and the associated warning labels. There are two fields for the warning labels (see image below for an example):

• ForwardPivotInt: This field is set when the tweet had a warning label attached to it.
• InnerForwardPivotInt: This field is set when the tweet quotes another tweet that had a warning label attached to it.

Hydrating tweets

To hydrate the JSON data for each tweet ID see the Twitter Docs or the Hydrator repository.
