• Abstract: Information exchange and message diffusion have moved from traditional media to social media platforms. Messages on platforms such as Twitter have become the default mode of company communications replacing lengthier public announcements and updates. Businesses and organizations have increased their use of Twitter to connect with stakeholders. As a result, it is important to understand the key drivers of successful information exchange and message diffusion via Twitter. We conducted an exploratory analysis on a dataset of over a million Tweets, comprising of over 40,000 lead Tweets, further filtered to over 18,000 Tweets. We identified the most popular messages, and analyzed the tweets on multiple endogenous dimensions including content, sentiment, motive and richness, and exogenous dimensions such as fundamental events, social learning, and activism. We found some interesting patterns and uncovered new insights to help researchers and practitioners better understand the behavior of popular viral tweets. We also performed sentiment analysis and present an early stage model to explain tweet performance.

  We present a novel task, identifying manipulation of news on social media, which aims to detect manipulation in social media posts and identify manipulated or inserted information. To study this task, we have proposed a data collection schema and curated a dataset called ManiTweet, consisting of 3.6K pairs of tweets and corresponding articles. Our analysis demonstrates that this task is highly challenging, with large language models (LLMs) yielding unsatisfactory performance.

• Manipulating Twitter Through Deletions [64.33261764633504]
  Research into influence campaigns on Twitter has mostly relied on identifying malicious activities from tweets obtained via public APIs. Here, we provide the first exhaustive, large-scale analysis of anomalous deletion patterns involving more than a billion deletions by over 11 million accounts. We find that a small fraction of accounts delete a large number of tweets daily. First, limits on tweet volume are circumvented, allowing certain accounts to flood the network with over 26 thousand daily tweets. Second, coordinated networks of accounts engage in repetitive likes and unlikes of content that is eventually deleted, which can manipulate ranking algorithms.

  We analyze two social media that enforced opposite moderation methods, Twitter and Gab, to assess the interplay between news consumption and content regulation. Our results show that the presence of moderation pursued by Twitter produces a significant reduction of questionable content. The lack of clear regulation on Gab results in the tendency of the user to engage with both types of content, showing a slight preference for the questionable ones which may account for a dissing/endorsement behavior.
