Why TwitterSia30Flagger

Wrote this code as a way to help people remove and clear their twitter accounts so that Governments like china and other countries don't flag them!

What is Twitter Sia30 Flagger

It's a simple python code to identify potential tweets that may contain sensitive keywords that governments might flag them and use it against you! I don't mind removing my old tweets to be safe and for me it's about being safe than sorry!

Caution

Twitter free API only allows you to retrieve last 3200 tweets and you have to be pro/premium API owner to do so with a slight modification of code!

Usage

1. Clone or download the project git clone https://github.com/i3130002/TwitterSia30Flagger.git

2. install dependencies pip install twython

3. Rename Config.exp.py to Config.py

4. Put your twitter APP_KEYand APP_SECRET into Config.py

5. Run main.py by python main.py

6. Type target username in response to What username?

7. Open output.html and go through tweets thus removing unnecessary ones that might be dangerous!

8. Re-Do steps 1 to 7 to make sure things are fine now !

Future work

• Jupyter notebook is not in sync with .py files

• It has problem displaying found keywords for each tweet

• Improving sensitive words

• Reading sensitive words from another file
