“…Our finding indicates that in the context of Chinese collectivistic culture, and under perceived lack of online anonymity in China, trolling is not an isolated behaviors of individual trolls, but rather a set of group behaviors. This is much in line with the argument that context, in our case Chinese Sina Weibo, shapes online behaviors (Sanfilippo, Yang & Fichman, 2017a;Sanfilippo, Yang, & Fichman, 2017b). Furthermore, our study provides an account of a Chinese trolling event as trolling behaviors vary during the various stages of the event; participants' roles evolve and change, and so do their tactics.…”

“…Beyond examples of "recreational nastiness" (Jane, 2012) on a personal scale, governments and corporations have also suffered at the hands of internet trolls, although in these cases, these malicious behaviours are usually labeled "hacktivism" (Sanfilippo, Yang, & Fichman, 2017). Arguably the most well-known instance of hacktivism, "the creative use of computer technology for the purposes of facilitating online protests, performing civil disobedience in cyberspace and disrupting the flow of information" (Gunkel, 2005), was the disclosure of thousands of confidential American diplomatic cables by Wikileaks in 2010, which the White House called a "reckless and dangerous action" with the potential to "deeply impact not only U.S. foreign policy interests, but those of our allies and friends around the world" (Kessler, 2010).…”

“…Las tácticas en el trolling político van desde provocaciones a oponentes ideológicos para inducir enfrentamientos en secciones de comentarios, hasta esfuerzos coordinados para spamear mensajes y tratar de abrumar a usuarios en plataformas de social media (Sanfilippo, Yang y Fichman, 2017). Reportes de casos en distintos países de Europa del Este señalan la existencia de troles políticos financiados por gobiernos extranjeros -específicamente Rusia-que desean ejercer influencia en el escenario político de otros países (Aro, 2016;Zelenkauskaite y Niezgoda, 2017), así como troles políticos financiados por gobiernos autoritarios que desean atacar a la oposición política (Mihaylov, Koychev, Georgiev y Nakov, 2015;Pearce, 2015).…”

Sin embargo, distinguir entre este tipo de trol político pagado (una práctica similar al astroturfing 4 ) y un usuario que efectúa el trolling político por un desacuerdo ideológico real ha probado ser una tarea difícil, debido a que la misma práctica del trolling es local y contextual (Sanfilippo et al, 2017). Zelenkauskaite y Niezgoda (2017) encuentran que las acusaciones de ser un trol político pagado muchas veces son hechas en tono sarcástico o humorístico, e incluso, ocasionalmente, algunos usuarios se autoidentifican irónicamente con esta etiqueta.…”
