      Sure, the tool needs greater transparency. Just pointing out that Russian trolls may indeed be using a hashtag like #firehannity

      this thing may well be useful. it's clear, however, that ppl don't understand the the output, and are making misguided claims on that basis.

          people do hijack hashtags tho e.g. post counter info or mock people using that hashtag.

          which may be why displaying just trending hashtags without proper contextualization may be, well, problematic #hint

          The researcher LOVED me bc he was an acolyte of my Dad's. But he didn't want any uncredentialed people like Lit PhDs working w/him.
