Collection of tweets related to QAnon hashtags

<p>Dataset includes tweets and relevant metadata scraped from Twitter.com focused on hashtags used by advocates of the QAnon conspiracy theory. QAnon is a far-right conspiracy promulgated across social media. It began in October 2017 when a shadowy operative claiming to be a Q-level intelligence agent within the Trump administration began leaking information of a global conspiracy by an elite group of Satanic pedophiles in Hollywood and the U.S. government. According to Q, Trump was about to expose the conspiracy in a cataclysmic event known as the Storm, and QAnon quickly gained traction on social media, including Twitter. After the January 6th riot, many accounts were removed from Twitter who espoused QAnon ideologies. This dataset captures the Twitter conversation leading up to the November elections and the January 6th riot.</p>
