Tweets were collected between September 29 and October 28, 2019. Manual coding: The data set contains a random sample of 3,637 tweets (1% sample) hand coded as either 'toxic' or 'insulting' by using three coders. Only tweets that were flagged by all three coders were considered as either 'toxic' (TOXICITY_3CODERS_AGREE=1) or 'insulting' (INSULT_3CODERS_AGREE = 1).

Based on data gathered through CrowdTangle and Twitter API, we selected the 250 most shared/retweeted posts for each dataset (n=500) and examined if they contained disinformation, who posted it, and what strategy was used to legitimize this discourse. Our findings indicate that politicians and hyperpartisan accounts have a key influence in validating the Brazilian president’s populist discourse through rationalization (pseudo-science) and denunciation (against the vaccine). The political frame also plays an important role in disinformation messages.

Neste relatório de pesquisa, sistematizamos e discutimos os principais resultados do primeiro ano da pesquisa "Desinformação, Mídia Social e Covid-19 no Brasil" (março a dezembro de 2020).

Mainstream media are often discussed as opposed to disinformation (Glasser; Benkler et al.). While the disinformation phenomenon is related to the intentional production and spread of misleading and false information to influence public opinion (Fallis; Benkler et al.), mainstream media news is expected to be based on facts and investigation and focussed on values such as authenticity, accountability, and autonomy (Hayes et al.). However, journalists might contribute to the spread of disinformation when they skip some stage of information processing and reproduce false or misleading information (Himma-Kadakas). Besides, even when the purpose of the news is to correct disinformation, media coverage might contribute to its dissemination by amplifying it (Tsfati et al.). This could be particularly problematic in the context of social media, as users often ...

Our case study is the disinformation campaign used to discredit the electronic ballot that was used for the election. In this paper, we use a mixed methods approach that combined critical discourse analysis and a quantitative aggregate approach to discuss a dataset of 53 original tweets and 54 original WhatsApp messages. We focused on identifying the most used strategies in each platform. Our results show that: (1) messages on both platforms used structural strategies to portray urgency and create a negative emotional framing; (2) tweets often framed disinformation as a “rational” explanation; and, (3) while WhatsApp messages frequently relied on authorities and shared conspiracy theories, spreading less truthful stories than tweets.

We analyze data from three key days during the impeachment process of the ex-president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff. Using a combination of social network analysis and qualitative approaches, we discuss these political influencers and their role in the conversations that took place. Our main findings are: (1) the presence of highly modularized networks, where groups in favor or opposing the impeachment were tightly connected around different influencers; (2) the identification of three different types of influencers, the "opinion leaders", the "informational influencers" and the "activists" and their different roles in the influential process and the polarization of the network.

Através de um mapeamento da rede e da observação da vizinhança dos links e dos links mais compartilhados, observamos uma polarização e redução da circulação dos links de acordo com seu sentido (pró-hidroxicloroquina ou anti-hidroxicloroquina). Os resultados também apontam para uma maior atividade na divulgação de links pró-hidroxicloroquina, grupo onde também circula a maior quantidade de desinformação e de veículos hiperpartidários. Do mesmo modo, a circulação de veículos de mídia tradicional e institucionais é bastante reduzida neste grupo, fortalecendo a associação entre mídia hiperpartidária e desinformação.

Nosso estudo de caso é o uso da hidroxicloroquina como cura ou profilaxia para o Covid-19. Analisamos a presença de URLs em mais de 70 mil publicações de páginas e grupos públicos no Facebook. Utilizamos a Análise de Redes Sociais para mapear a circulação das URLs em redes de páginas e grupos e a Análise de Conteúdo para identificar as fontes das informações e a presença de desinformação. Nossos resultados mostram que (1) a circulação de URLs foi polarizada, tanto no contexto de páginas, quanto grupos; (2) o conteúdo desinformativo foi utilizado para reforçar uma narrativa pró-hidroxicloroquina; e (3) os grupos deram maior visibilidade a mídias hiperpartidárias e desinformação em comparação com as páginas, os grupos também registraram maior frequência no compartilhamento de URLs.

Our case study is based on data collected in three dates during the former Brazilian president Lula’s corruption trial. We used a combination of social network analysis metrics and social capital to identify the users’ roles during polarized discussions that took place in each of the dates analyzed. Our research identified four roles, each associated with different aspects of social capital and social network metrics: activists, news clippers, opinion leaders, and information influencers. These roles are particularly useful to understand how users’ actions on political conversations may influence the structure of information flows.

Based on a mixed-methods approach, we collected and analyzed a dataset of over 8 million tweets about Jair Bolsonaro, a far-right candidate from the Social Liberty Party. Our results show that there is a strong connection between polarization, hyperpartisanship and disinformation. As the centrality of hyperpartisan outlets on Twitter grew, more traditional media outlets became less central and conversations became more polarized. We also confirmed that hyperpartisan outlets often shared disinformation or biased information, presented as a “truth-telling” alternative to journalistic outlets. And while disinformation was more frequently observed in the far-right group, it was also present in the anti-Bolsonaro cluster, especially towards the runoff period.

For that, we analyze two datasets related to political conversations around recent events in the country. We chose the social network site Twitter as the environment for the analysis. The method we used involves a combination of social network analysis with content analysis. Our results point to the existence of ideologically distinct groups in the discussion of the topics chosen, putting at risk the democratic nature of social media and its potential to expand the plurality of information sources for the users.

Based on a dataset of over 20 million tweets, we explore the research question: What are the key characteristics of the disinformation campaigns aimed to influence the Brazilian 2018 election through political conversations on Twitter? To discuss this question, we aligned our results with three key aspects of the disinformation campaigns: (a) content strategies; (b) legitimation strategies and (c) spread strategies.

Our hypothesis is that these highly active users show a clear political position and intentionally act to give visibility to some topics and to reduce the visibility of others, practices that are similar to those observed among fans in popular culture. In terms of methods, we use social network analysis metrics to identify the modularity of the network and users that receive more attention than others (higher indegree) or mention more other users (higher outdegree). We collected tweets related to the impeachment of the Brazilian ex-president Dilma Rousseff in 2016 in three critical dates of the process. By observing the users with higher outdegree in each network, we noticed some patterns and behaviors that can characterize those users as political fans. Our main finding is that the superparticipants with higher outdegree helped to shape the polarized networks by retweeting like-minded ...

Para tanto, são analisados dois conjuntos de dados relacionados a conversações políticas em torno de acontecimentos recentes no País. O ambiente escolhido para a análise é o do site de rede social Twitter. O método utilizado envolve uma combinação de análise de redes sociais com análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontam para a existência de grupos ideologicamente distintos na discussão dos temas abordados, colocando em xeque o caráter democrático da mídia social e seu potencial para ampliar a pluralidade de fontes informativas dos usuários.
