Deleted tweet counts

The following list shows the top 100 accounts by number of deleted or unavailable tweets scraped by cancel-culture.

This dataset now includes 3,057,561 distinct deleted or unavailable tweets from 502,897 Twitter accounts, out of a total of 9,353,386 tweets scraped from 3,978,657 pages from the Wayback Machine.

The original motivation for this project was a cease and desist letter that I received from John De Goes (a prominent conference organizer in the Scala community), who claims that I defamed him by quoting abusive and white-nationalist-friendly tweets that he had deleted. You can read more about that situation here.

Note that none of this content was accessed directly from Twitter or the Twitter API.
