Description
This report presents the findings of our research about the role of digital
disinformation in the 2019 Philippine midterm election.
Based on interviews with digital campaign strategists and ‘fake news’ producers, content
tracking of social media posts by candidates and digital influencers, and big data analysis
of online conversations, we find that digital operations are becoming more prevalent,
strategically obscured, and influential in shaping political conversations.
