摘要

社交媒体为有动机的信息传播提供了日益多样化的机制,多个宣传社区在用户、内容和网络特征方面表现出重叠。这在全球南部地区尤其是一个问题,最近的研究显示了与网络极化言论相关的各种形式的纷争。同时还发现,宣传主义信息,包括对问题的边缘立场,如果在语气和频率上得到充分强化,就能进入主流,其中一些往往需要复杂的组织和信息操纵。在本研究中,我们通过分析导致用户和言论重叠的用户内容和网络特征,分析了三个具有不同程度宣传主义信息的事件之间的重叠。我们发现,导致三个事件社区重叠的用户中有很大一部分对三个事件网络中的信息传播具有影响力,而政治倾向是有助于解释是什么将社区聚集在一起的因素之一。我们的研究揭示了用户网络特征的重要性,这有助于确定政治倾向对多个宣传社区之间重叠的作用。

On the Influence and Political Leaning of Overlap between Propaganda Communities
Social media offers increasingly diverse mechanisms for the distribution of motivated information, with multiple propaganda communities exhibiting overlaps with respect to user, content, and network characteristics. This has particularly been an issue in the Global South, where recent work has shown various forms of strife related to polarizing speech online. It has also emerged that propagandist information, including fringe positions on issues, can find its way into the mainstream when sufficiently reinforced in tone and frequency, some of which often requires sophisticated organizing and information manipulation. In this study, we analyze the overlap between three events with varying degrees of propagandist messaging by analyzing the content and network characteristics of users leading to overlap between their users and discourse. We find that a significant fraction of users leading to overlap between the three event communities are influential in information spread across the three event networks, and political leaning is one of the factors that helps explain what brings the communities together. Our work sheds light on the importance of network characteristics of users, which can prove to be instrumental in establishing the role of political leaning on overlap between multiple propaganda communities.
