Catching Coordinated X Boosting in Real Time With Graph Neural Networks
garrytan · x · 2026-09-11
cyantist calls for a product that flags coordinated information campaigns in real time, arguing tracing the money trail is how to expose them.
- Quoted poster adamscrabble describes lightweight forensics on the viral Jacob/Anthropic thread: at 2M impressions he noticed suspiciously synchronized diffusion and screen-recorded the first boosting accounts
- Since X cut off most analysis tools/APIs, he captured data live via the X firehose, then used Graph Neural Networks (nodes = user networks, edges = connections) to detect coordination
Context: the Jacob Coxon doom tweet's suspicious viral spread. Both posters argue for tooling that makes orchestrated campaigns visible to the public.
