ZeroStateReflex · x · 2026-11-11
After his investigation into AI-driven influence campaigns went public, over 120 of the 400+ accounts Tyler Johnston identified have been deleted — evidence operators are covering their tracks. By popular request, he open-sourced his primary dataset: 100k+ tweets across 400+ accounts, which he believes is only a floor. He flags unexplored threads for other journalists, including potential campaigns focused on Israel, Qatar, and pharmacy benefit managers. Taylor Lorenz praised the meticulous, transparent methodology.
