Why Audience Demographics Matter
Understanding who follows an account reveals the type of influence they hold. Accounts followed primarily by users with few followers indicate broad, mainstream appeal. Those with many high-follower followers have greater potential for content amplification through secondary sharing.
Account age distribution also tells a story: a follower base with many new accounts might indicate recent viral growth, while established followers suggest long-term, stable influence. Geographic data helps understand the cultural context and timezone spread of the audience.

Topical Analysis:
The First Amendment bars the government from deciding for us what is true or false, online or anywhere. Our government can’t use private pressure to get around our constitutional rights. https://t.co/XCAzhoolBq
BREAKING: We just released hundreds of documents showing how Arizona created a nationwide surveillance program to track Americans’ personal money transfers. It's one of the largest government surveillance programs in recent history.
NEW: The Supreme Court ruled today that you can’t sue the police for failing to read your Miranda rights to you. This dangerous decision widens the gap between what the Constitution guarantees and what we can hold our government accountable for.
VICTORY: Kentucky voters just defeated Constitutional Amendment 2, rejecting an attempt to ban all abortion in the state. Voters in Kentucky made it clear: Abortion is our RIGHT — and politicians don’t belong in our private medical decisions.
BREAKING: We’re suing Arizona over a law that makes it a crime to record police officers if you’re within 8 feet of them. We have a First Amendment right to record police in public. Full stop.
