2018.1: Challenging Truth and Trust: A Global Inventory of Organized Social Media Manipulation. For details on the methods behind this content analysis please see the methodology section of the report. This document contains data from over 500 sources organized by country. The sources include high quality news articles, academic papers, white papers, and a range of other grey literature. As an annotated bibliography, the country cases here make use of significant passages from these secondary sources, and every effort has been made to preserve full citation details for future researchers. The full list of references can be found in our public Zotero folder, with each reference tagged with a country name. ARGENTINA Fake news frequently circulates on both social networks and the mainstream media in Argentina, and often includes political propaganda. For example, in 2017, a former member of Cristina Kirchner’s cabinet tweeted a photograph of an injured woman, saying she was a teacher who had been hurt by the police while protesting in the Plaza de Congresos (National Congress Square), amid demonstrations related to the “Escuela Itinerante” (Itinerant School) conflict. The politician later apologized and deleted the tweet (Chequeado, 2017). The website Chequeado—a digital non-profit fact-check agency—has a partnership with Facebook to address issues such as these and uses the hashtag #Falsoenlasredes (“Fakes on the Internet”) to highlight fake news. This is part of a larger Argentinian initiative of “news literacy” which plans to give people the tools to be more informed about the news they are consuming (Jenner, 2018; Rost, 2017). Fake profiles in social networks are also used by politicians and political parties. In 2012, a journalistic investigation conducted by the Argentine TV show Periodismo Para Todos (“News for everyone”) revealed that 400 fake Twitter accounts were being used to post and disseminate messages in favor of Cristina Kirchner (The Observer, 2012). The election campaign that, in 2015, elected Mauricio Macri (the current president of Argentina), also made ostensive use of social networks, mainly with segmented advertising. It was also reported that Macri had 35 to 40 social media specialists working for his party to create trends and parrot government messages through fake accounts (Telesur, 2016). According to data from the Argentine Electoral Chamber, Macri spent 14 million pesos in segmented advertising in Facebook, Google and Yahoo! in the 3 presidency electoral campaign of 2015. In the same period, the Frente para la Victoria, an opposition party, spent 11 million pesos (Recalt, 2016). A report produced by the consultancy Solo Comunicación has ranked Argentinian politicians by the number of fake followers on Twitter. The fake accounts were created to increase the number of followers and to share political propaganda in a disguised way. According to the report, the cost of the scheme was 1 dollar per 100 followers (Paladini, 2018). Many of these followers of political accounts are part of groups that seek to influence the process of public opinion formation. The accounts are used to increase the number of followers, praise or question government actions, show popularity, and generate interactions and false realities (Schurman & Romeo, 2018). The first reported case was in 2012, when the investigative journalist Jorge Lanata denounced Kirchner's aides as having created at least 400 Twitter accounts that were disguised as the accounts of regular citizens. According to Lanata, these bots simultaneously posted hundreds of messages in favor of Kirchner's decisions, and also launched aggressive attacks against journalists

  • Officials Say Flynn Discussed Sanctions
    Officials say Flynn discussed sanctions The Washington Post February 10, 2017 Friday, Met 2 Edition Copyright 2017 The Washington Post All Rights Reserved Distribution: Every Zone Section: A-SECTION; Pg. A08 Length: 1971 words Byline: Greg Miller;Adam Entous;Ellen Nakashima Body Talks with Russia envoy said to have occurred before Trump took office National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country's ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said. Flynn's communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election. Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, "No." On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn "indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn't be certain that the topic never came up." Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynn's communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration. Flynn's contacts with the ambassador attracted attention within the Obama administration because of the timing.

  • Recent Trends in Online Foreign Influence Efforts
    Recent Trends in Online Foreign Influence Efforts Diego A. Martin, Jacob N. Shapiro, Michelle Nedashkovskaya Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs Princeton University Princeton, New Jersey, United States E-mail: [email protected] Email: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Foreign governments have used social media to influence politics in a range of countries by promoting propaganda, advocating controversial viewpoints, and spreading disinformation. We analyze 53 distinct foreign influence efforts (FIEs) targeting 24 different countries from 2013 through 2018. FIEs are defined as (i) coordinated campaigns by one state to impact one or more specific aspects of politics in another state (ii) through media channels, including social media, (iii) by producing content designed to appear indigenous to the target state. The objective of such campaigns can be quite broad and to date have included influencing political decisions by shaping election outcomes at various levels, shifting the political agenda on topics ranging from health to security, and encouraging political polarization. We draw on more than 460 media reports to identify FIEs, track their progress, and classify their features. Introduction Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) have changed the way people communi- cate about politics and access information on a wide range of topics (Foley 2004, Chigona et al. 2009). Social media in particular has transformed communication between leaders and voters by enabling direct politician-to-voter engagement outside traditional avenues, such as speeches and press conferences (Ott 2017). In the 2016 U.S. presidential election, for example, social media platforms were more widely viewed than traditional editorial media and were central to the campaigns of both Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump (Enli 2017).

  • A “Ideologia De Gênero” Na Câmara Dos Deputados Brasileira1 Raniery Parra Teixeira (Doutorando/Unb) Flávia Biroli (Docente/Unb)
    Contra o gênero: a “ideologia de gênero” na Câmara dos Deputados brasileira1 Raniery Parra Teixeira (Doutorando/Unb) Flávia Biroli (Docente/Unb) Resumo Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a reação à agenda de igualdade de gênero e diversidade sexual, por meio da mobilização da noção de “ideologia de gênero” na Câmara dos Deputados brasileira. Para tanto, foram analisadas as proposições parlamentares que fizeram menção a essa noção, entre os anos de 1988 e 2018. Sua aparição e concentração foi relacionada ao contexto global e nacional das disputas de gênero. Identificamos seus objetivos e quais parlamentares recorreram a essa estratégia, considerando seu partido, religião e sexo. Foi possível constatar que a adoção da noção de “ideologia de gênero” fomentou a convergência de diferentes atores, em sua maioria conservadores católicos e pentecostais, em torno de dois temas principais: educação sexual e identidade de gênero. Desse modo, procurou-se contribuir para as reflexões acerca da dimensão nacional desse fenômeno, situando-o em um contexto transnacional de reações conservadoras que apresentam potenciais desafios para os sentidos da democracia e da laicidade do Estado. Palavras-chave: “Ideologia de Gênero”; Câmara dos Deputados; Conservadorismo; Democracia. Abstract This article aims to analyze the reaction of political actors to gender equality and diversity as they resorted to the notion of “gender ideology” in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. To this end, we analyzed bills mentioning this expression between 1988 and 2018. Its appearance and frequency were connected to the global and local context of gender disputes. We identified its aims and mapped which parliamentarians resorted to this political strategy, considering their party, their religion and gender.
