Mapping inauthentic narratives during the Romanian elections
Detection of inauthentic political narratives and automated campaigns during the Romanian elections of November 2024.
Protecting the integrity of the vote
Inauthentic narratives and disinformation targeting candidates or the European Union can compromise electoral integrity and shape public opinion. Understanding these operations is essential to protect democratic institutions during election cycles.
We help political analysts and institutions map and reduce the impact of inauthentic narratives.
Our approach
We analyzed TikTok and other platforms to map actors, detect inauthentic accounts and study anti-EU and anti-candidate narratives. The result: identification of coordinated campaigns and actionable insight for decision-makers.
Results
By combining social monitoring with qualitative narrative analysis, we delivered:
-
A mapping of actors and disinformation campaigns
-
Detection of tens of thousands of inauthentic accounts
-
Analysis of the amplification of pro-Russian, anti-NATO and anti-EU narratives
-
Detection of an artificial 3x view multiplier on candidate Georgescu
