New observations this week: 8
Main channel: Tiktok
Main keywords: Covid, vaccines, corruption
Main disinformation narratives:
- Anti-Government
- Covid pandemic related issues
- Malign Western influence
Overview:
Similarly, as for the previous two weeks, the majority of content is related to COVID-19. Whilst the authors remain the same and try to apply a similar video format and narrative as in previous weeks, the engagement is lower. Additionally, some content relating to corruption and low trust in government is getting more prominent among the opposition political party leaders however engagement remains low. Considering that in prior weeks content relating to COVID-19 was relevant due to members of parliament being required to temporarily wear masks, the low engagement on similar content could be attributed to lack of actual evidence of a reintroduction of restrictions or vaccines.
