## SmashAdditionsBotTransparency.txt
Hello. I am Shuga (the operator of Smash Additions Bot) and I am looking to ensure the continued operation of my Twitter bot account, @SmashAdditions, indefinitely. The bot has one simple goal: every hour, the account will automatically choose a random video game character from most known video games (sourced by GiantBomb [https://giantbomb.com]'s API and Wiki), put it in a template card resembling those released by Nintendo for fighters in the new Super Smash Bros game, and post the final composite image onto the Twitter account. The account uses the sourced images under licenses provided by GiantBomb and under fair use as parody. The account is not connected to any commercial interests and is purely an educational project to refine my skills in Python, Pillow, and the requests library with self-taught knowledge.

The application in question (that is, the one that posts the generated images to the @SmashAdditions Twitter account) does not do any analysis or data-mining with any users following or interacting with the account. The application will solely post text (summary/tagline of image) and media content (the generated image in question) to Twitter in a Tweet. The application will also not automatically reply to any users.

The application, as I mentioned, will only Tweet content. It does not like, Retweet, or reply to any of its users. Any replies, likes, outgoing follows or retweets being made with the account associated with this application (@SmashAdditions) were done by a human. The account in question does not automatically perform any of these actions. Tweets generated by the application will be shown in the user's feed if the user follows the account (@SmashAdditions), views the account's profile, or if a user follows a user who Retweets a post generated by the account. The account is clearly labeled as an automated user (the substring "bot" is in the account's name), as it says such in the user's name. An example post that may be made by the application can be seen at the link below. Please note how the account does not interact with any users, but just posts the image with a tagline to supplement it.

No Twitter content will be shown off of Twitter's site. No content generated by any Twitter users, including Tweets, Retweet behavior, liking behavior, or follower information, will be harvested or served at all, and especially off of Twitter.

The application in question solely posts content. It does not do anything else. It just needs the ability to Tweet media content, as it only does such.

I await your reply,
