WhatsApp, política mobile e desinformação: a hidra nas eleições presidenciais de 2018

Abstract: Iniciamos esta pesquisa a dez meses das eleições executivas de 2018, período no qual investigamos o comportamento coletivo de 90 grupos de WhatsApp interconectados e de apoio aos seis principais presidenciáveis, bem como os mais de 500 mil textos e imagens enviados pelos usuários, através dessa ferramenta, durante os cinco meses de campanha eleitoral. Com este estudo, identificamos que o alcance ampliado do aplicativo se dá através de sua viralização contra-intuitiva, consequência direta da interconexão estrut… Show more

“…In this sense, studies such as those by Santos et al (2019) show important circulation patterns in misinformation messages on WhatsApp. The authors analyze how messages that evoked an alleged electoral fraud were spread virally and gained scale in geometric progression with the combined use of WhatsApp as a private message service and as a broadcast communication tool, from public discussion groups that include, each, up to 256 users.…”

“…This inconsistency has been sustained on different occasions by the rhetoric adopted by the WhatsApp office in Brazil in public speeches in which it is emphasized that approximately 90% of the messages exchanged through the application are limited to interpersonal communications between two users, and that the average number of users in groups hosted by the service averages around seven individuals (D. Durigan, personal communication, October 27th 2020). And, although these data are replicated in studies that, having received funding from WhatsApp's own public calls, argue that research on the political effects of dysfunctional information sharing should not emphasize large groups dedicated to political discussion, since they would be the exception and not a rule, and would not reflect the experience of most users (Rossini et al, 2021), it is notable that the problem is not related to the interpersonal exchanges but to the virality of messages shared by and within these groups (Santos et al, 2019). Thus, ignoring the threat posed by end-to-end encryption applied to public groups with the participation of agents from the professional field of politics (Chagas, 2022;Modesto;Magalhães, 2019), is equivalent to color-blind the nuances acquired by the service by incorporating multiple affordances.…”

“…sociais, conforme estudos precedentes, centrados no contexto das eleições de 2018, evidenciaram (Bastos dos Santos et al, 2019;Gomes & Dourado, 2019). Já as fake news correspondem às publicações com conteúdo deliberadamente falso ou enganoso que de fato mimetiza a linguagem jornalística -com os seus componentes típicos, incluindo título, lide e fotografias -, são veiculadas predominantemente em ambiente digital e produzidas para enganar diferentes públicos, seja com finalidades comerciais -como no caso dos clickbaits -, seja por interesses ideológicos -como nas páginas de grupos hiperpartidários que pretendem converter ou reforçar as crenças de sua audiência por meio de desinformações (Egelhofer & Lecheler, 2019;Gelfert, 2018;Tandoc et al, 2018).…”

“…Diante dessa conjuntura, este artigo pretende se debruçar sobre um aspecto até o momento menos discutido nos estudos a respeito da circulação da desinformação, a saber, o seu substrato sociocultural (Cabañes, 2020;Humprecht, 2018). Concomitantemente à profusão de pesquisas que têm retratado o Brasil como um país duramente afetado por histórias falsas e rumores (Baptista et al, 2019;Bastos dos Santos et al, 2019), há também um grande volume de trabalhos dedicados a discutir a emergência de uma guinada liberal-conservadora na América Latina (que conciliaria um pensamento neoliberal globalizado com valores autoritários), traçando inclusive suas raízes sócio-históricas (Gentile, 2018;Messenberg, 2017;Sanahuja, 2019).…”

“…WhatsApp possède un design de réseau privé avec cryptage de bout en bout 16 . Cette structure plus fermée peut encourager l'expression politique de personnes dont l'exposition sur les médias sociaux les mettrait mal à l'aise, pourtant, elle n'empêche pas la grande et rapide dissémination des messages.…”
