Abstract

Twitter has been broadly adopted by the privacy research community. However, Twitter research has limitations, and missteps often occur. Issues involve data access restrictions, user sampling and filtering, as well as legal and ethical concerns. Developing guidelines around these recurring problems as a community would help us better standardize and improve the quality of our work.
