New observations this week: 10 

Main channel: Tiktok

Main keywords: Covid, vaccines, corruption, Ukraine

Main disinformation narratives:

  • Anti-Government
  • Covid pandemic related issues
  • Anti-Ukraine

Overview:


The majority of content was related to COVID-19 and the possibility of new vaccines. The main narrative concerned the claims of COVID-19 being a source of government oppression through mandatory vaccines which also doubles as corruption as too much funding is going to buying COVID-19 vaccines. Additionally, the war in Ukraine was also referenced with the main narratives being related to corruption and mismanagement of financial resources. From the two most prominent topics, content relating to COVID-19 gained more overall engagement hence resulting in more COVID-19-related content creation.
