Digital Activism, Protests and Incivility in Latin America
Researcher: Bastián González-Bustamante
Overview
We are analysing online interactions on social media around specific hashtags used during mass protests in Latin America since 2019. Therefore, we download the network activity using particular social media APIs.
Then we classify sentiments and toxicity levels before applying a number of causal identification strategies and social network analysis applications.
