As of Jan 2025, X (formerly Twitter) had around 335.7 million users so how is it possible that data from 2.8 billion users has been leaked?
One possible explanation is that the dataset includes aggregated or historical data, such as bot accounts that were created and later banned, inactive or deleted accounts that still lingered in historical records, or old data that was merged with newer data, increasing the total number of records.
I got lost at the first few lines. No idea what any of this means.
