We collected and analyzed messages on different platforms with terms related to the five identified themes: Electoral Integrity, Christian Values, Discreditation of the press, Social and Environmental Issues and Gender and Family.
On WhatsApp, Telegram and Twitter, the average volume of publications per day increased after the first round vote. On Twitter, the growth was 57%.
On the other hand, some decreased, such as Youtube, Facebook and Instagram, indicating that fewer publications were disseminated per day on the analyzed topics on these platforms during the second round.
