Content Warning

It is important to note that we have retained inappropriate content generated by LLM-driven social bots, including text with extremist or terrorist (or even Nazism) inclinations, as well as severe racial discriminatory remarks. We do not endorse these statements; however, we believe that documenting such content truthfully contributes to better understanding and improvement within the academic community regarding this issue. Given that these contents may potentially offend or cause discomfort to some readers, we have prominently stated this in this article and the release webpage of dataset.
