Computational Propaganda Worldwide: Executive Summary

http://comprop.oii.ox.ac.uk/2017/06/19/computational-propaganda-worldwide-executive-summary/

We’re very excited to announce the launch of our case study series on computational propaganda in 9 different countries.

Find the executive summary, written by Sam Woolley and Phil Howard, here.

The Computational Propaganda Research Project at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, has researched the use of social media for public opinion manipulation. The team involved 12 researchers across nine countries who, altogether, interviewed 65 experts, analyzed tens of millions posts on seven different social media platforms during scores of elections, political crises, and national security incidents. Each case study analyzes qualitative, quantitative, and computational evidence collected between 2015 and 2017 from Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Poland, Taiwan, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States.
