Twitter archives no longer contain CSVs

When you request your own Twitter archive, they now only contain JSON, not any CSV files. Probably want to adjust the wording a tiny bit to make it sound less like people can follow along with this analysis in a super straightforward way.

Are you guys going to update the code for the twitter part?
I would love to play with my own tweets!
BTW nice book, 3 days and I almost finish it :)

@juliasilge - would it be of interest if I put together code and corresponding text to that allows readers to complete exercise based on current format of Twitter data export?

Hmmmmm, @andresholland with the situation as it is with Twitter (changes to the API, problems for some users obtaining an archive) I'm not sure that we'll want to invest effort in that direction. Let's wait and see for now, and consider other possible kinds of datasets for this chapter.

I think the Netflix TV show vs. movie dataset from Tidy Tuesday might be a good replacement for the Twitter chapter.
