Use Restrictions

Distribution of complete tweet datasets is prohibited by Twitter's terms of service. This dataset, however, was generated when the referenced tweets were "dehydrated," a process which extracts only tweet IDs, which can be freely distributed. "Rehydrated" tweet datasets can be used by remote researchers, but may not be distributed. D.C. Public Library accepts no responsibility for the distribution of rehydrated datasets.
