Computational Propaganda Political Parties, Politicians, And Political Manipulation On Social Media Oxford Studies In Digital Politics
Social media platforms do not just circulate political ideas, but support computational propaganda and manipulative disinformation campaigns. Although some of these disinformation campaigns are carried out directly by individuals, most are waged by software, commonly known as bots, programmed to perform simple, repetitive, robotic tasks. Including case studies from nine countries and covering propaganda efforts over a wide array of social media platforms, this bookargues that bots, fake accounts, and social media algorithms amount to a new political communications mechanism that it terms ""computational propaganda.""
