“The Kremlin is using the Catalan crisis as a way to deepen divisions within Europe and consolidate its international influence. It appears in the form of websites that publish hoax stories, the activity of activists such as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and a legion of bots – millions of automated social media accounts that can turn lies into trending topics”.
FACT6
“A detailed analysis of 5,000 of Assange’s followers on Twitter provided by TwitterAudit, reveals that 59% are false profiles”. The fact that the tweet went viral so quickly is evidence of the intervention of bots, or false social media profiles, programmed simply to automatically echo certain messages”

“This assertion is entirely inaccurate because the data is from an inactive account with no tweets. Julian Assange only started tweeting on February 14th, 2017 [4], but the Twitter Audit data is from February 12th, 2014 [3], three years before anything was tweeted from the account”.

These 2,262 early followers from before Julian Assange started tweeting are not representative of his current 753,000 followers. When an account has no tweets for human users to read yet, there is little reason for real people to follow it, but bots may still automatically follow the inactive account. After reassessing @JulianAssange’s followers on November 24th, 2017, Twitter Audit now shows that 92% of his followers are real. (McGrath)

La trama rusa empleó redes chavistas para agravar la crisis catalana

“Dos medios del Kremlin, RT y Sputnik, se valieron de un elevadísimo número de cuentas en redes sociales en el entorno del chavismo y Venezuela para propagar una imagen negativa de España en las jornadas anteriores y posteriores al referéndum del 1 de octubre, según un pormenorizado análisis de más de cinco millones de mensajes de la universidad George Washington, en EE UU”.

Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Fake News Committee (December 19th 2017 evidence session), Paul Farrelly [Q57]: “It is really about the evidence we have received and the way it is constructed. My second observation about papers like Señor Lesaca’s is that, unlike a scientific paper, there is no control, no comparator. Sputnikand the Russians were identified; they were the fourth largest of the 5 million that were sending their messages all around. But they were behind El Diario, the BBC and El País. So I would have liked to have seen, particularly, a comparator paper about what analysis of the BBC content and the way the BBC content was shared around the world—

FACT17
McGrath: Researchers have found that like-to-tweet ratios under 0.1 are indicative of an account being a bot, while higher like-to-tweet ratios closer to 1 are more often seen with human users [12]. Bots aiming to amplify or spread tweets have little incentive to interact with tweets in ways that do not lead them to be retransmitted to other users through retweets. Based on these statistics, there is clear evidence that Assange’s tweets are viewed and interacted with by many people, but these interactions follow patterns that are normal for humans and consistent across Assange’s tweets.”

FACT22: Alandete: La prueba definitiva de que el interés de quienes movilizan al ejército de bots prorrusos se ha centrado en el pulso independentista en España es que entre sus menciones habituales en redes (Siria, Rusia, Ucrania, Trump, Hillary Clinton, ISIS) ha entrado desde hace unos días Cataluña. Así lo refleja la herramienta Hamilton 68 de la Alianza para Asegurar la Democracia. https://elpais.com/politica/2017/09/22/actualidad/1506101626_670033.html

FACT24 & 25: McGrath: “Like many other journalists, Alandete seems to have come to questionable conclusions based on haphazard analysis of the Hamilton 68 data. El País claim that they looked at the trends on the Hamilton 68 dashboard on or around September 22nd, and saw AntiWar.com and Catalonia trending [2]. However, Hamilton 68 only monitors tweets from the previous 48 hours [29] and the AntiWar.com article comparing Barcelona to Tiananmen was published 96 to 120 hours before El País looked at the data [23]. Assange’s tweets linking to this article were also published 72 to 96 hours before September 22nd [24].” /// “I found archived copies of the data from September 19th, within 48 hours of both the publication of the article and Assange’s tweets linking to it. On September 19th, neither AntiWar.com nor Catalonia were trending on Hamilton 68 [30]. Of course, the links to this story could have been spread more slowly by bots and trolls, but the more gradual dissemination seen here appears more uncoordinated and organic. In particular, it is quite different than the previous claim that Russian bots and trolls jump to amplify Assange’s tweets and narratives of interest to the Kremlin unusually quickly. It also does not appear that El País investigated why AntiWar.com was trending on Hamilton 68, and Alandete does not consider that there may be other stories or combinations of stories that caused AntiWar.com to trend on the day they checked Hamilton 68. http://data.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/committeeevidence.svc/evidencedocument/digital-culture-media-and-sport-committee/fake-news/written/80989.html
