The Hamilton and other dashboards’ ‘Tweet Text’ search and the Social Data Search may yield slightly different results for the same search phrase due to (1) how search terms are processed by the search algorithm; (2) The Social Data Search includes usernames, hashtags, countries and other text fields in its searchable text; and (3) different data update schedules. Generally, these differences should be minor. External links may not work when either a tweet or an account has been removed. Tweets have been translated from their original language to English; the original text may be viewed by clicking the relevant tweet to show additional information.
On July 13, 2023, X/Twitter removed access to its API for the Alliance for Securing Democracy’s Hamilton 2.0 dashboard, so no new Twitter data is being ingested. Likewise, Meta shut down Crowdtangle on August 14, 2024, stopping new Instagram and Facebook ingestion. However, Social Data Search will remain as an archive of previously collected X/Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook posts.
