Thanks @nycmedialab for inviting me. It was great sharing my Information Tracer project with other journalists, and learning from everyone else!

@LarsWienand Hi Lars, do you mean the Information Tracer website (https://t.co/8RYz5OoGJx)? It should function normally :-) Happy to talk more on DM.

@BellNahuel @Saqib_hmed @LeBuzzdilyacin1 @ThatUmbrella This is Zhouhan. To be clear, my analysis in the podcast is based on the Ron Schnell dataset. I did not use any data related to Christina Taft's github. Christina Taft is not involved in this podcast at all. Any mention of Christina Taft is a distraction and should be dismissed.

Fascinating work by @AlexiMostrous! I'm very honored to be able to participate in this investigation.

Did Saudi trolls help Johnny Depp win court battle with Amber Heard? https://t.co/REzsKsygMV via @MailOnline

It's my investigation into what happened to Amber Heard online. Was she the victim of an organised hate campaign?
