They utilized the timestamp of a tweet to estimate the time that a tweet has been archived. They then established left & right time boundaries to limit search space to make resolving captured tweets from the web archive more efficient.

1. Reconstruct a tweet URL based on the embedded parameters in a tweet 2. Search @archive.org. Web archives are most useful when the Tweet (or account) is no longer on the live web. - @tarannum44.bsky.social #ACMHT2025

Another reason fake tweets are shared is for satire. 100k likes and no comments is suspicious. How can you tell it's real? Web archives serve as a good src of evidence that it's real. Their goal is to build an automated method for evidence that a tweet is authentic @tarannum44.bsky.social #ACMHT2025
