Two days ago, voat user brandnewguy posted about how pedophiles are using twitter to share child porn. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1705231 He suggested that if you used certain hashtags, you would be confronted with graphic images. I, like many people, don't want to view child pornography. So, I thought up a way to view the tweets and archive them without the pictures. I used https://www.w3.org/services/html2txt to convert twitter search pages into plain text. Since Twitter searches have a pattern in their URL, I typed that into w3.org and not into my web browser. I never had to visit the actual pages, thus keeping me safe from viewing child porn. This service has some options about what to include. The only option I checked was "include an extra list of references at the end" as I thought it was better to include more data than less. Here are the links, feel free to use this tool yourself.
WARNING: While all links I have provided should be harmless, and there are no hyperlinks in them, some of the URLs listed in the twitter dump may include incriminating material. I do not recommend visiting them.

If your not the most tech savvy, here are the instruction on how I did it.
1) I searched for a innocent term on twitter, eg #summer
2) I copied that URL (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23summer&src=typd)) and pasted it in https://www.w3.org/services/html2txt
3) I selected the "include an extra list of references at the end" and hit the "convert from HTML to Text" button.
4) I then got the new URL: https://www.w3.org/services/html2txt?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3D%2523summer%26src%3Dtypd&endrefs=on
5) I replaced "summer" with the word "pedo" and hit enter
Note: if you want to search without the hashtag, remove the "23" from before the search term.
Edit: You have to scroll down a way to see the tweets. They start after the words "search results".

Here's a test I did with Stephen Colbert's twitter (don't worry, we didn't forget you Stephen!) https://www.w3.org/services/html2txt?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fsearch%3Fl%3D%26q%3Dsummer%2520from%253AStephenAtHome%26src%3Dtypd&endrefs=on http://archive.is/MSZZD
