Main channel: Tiktok

Main keywords: Covid, vaccines, LGBTQ, Russian Language

Main disinformation narratives:

  • Covid pandemic related issues
  • LGBTQ Propaganda is forced onto Latvia
  • Russians are discriminated 

Overview:


COVID-19 remains a topic that is capable of reaching a wider audience and more engagement. In comparison to last week additionally, to the already existing narrative of mandatory vaccines, content relating to various conspiracy theories is introduced. Additionally to COVID-19, content relating to the education of children regarding gender and overall lgbtq issues gained traction. The content both for COVID-19 conspiracy theories and the creation of panic around LGBTQ issues being taught to children came from the same accounts.
