Within its project Get the Troll Out (insert the link to GTTO site) Media Diversity Institute published a new report on the QAnon Conspiracy Theory and the way it spreads on Twitter. Collaborating with Get The Trolls Out! partners and Textgain, we used a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to identify key themes surrounding the conspiracy theory, and its prominence in the 2020 American election.
You can view a summary of the results in the Twitter thread and video below:
Get The Trolls Out! partners have analysed half a million @Twitter messages related to the dangerous ‘QAnon’ conspiracy theory. Our results show worrying signs of QAnon's spread, and a rise of antisemitism and #coronavirus denial.
