Brazil’s supreme court on content moderation
Tech oligarchy arises when platform companies are dominated to a singular extent by a small group of very powerful and extremely wealthy men who have played uniquely influential roles in structurin...
Ruptures in Climate Discourse
Australia and Brazil are on the frontlines of climate crises. Both have experienced significant warming, including intense heatwaves. Both have experienced changes in rainfall patterns, with increases in some regions and decreases in others, affecting biodiversity, agriculture, and infrastructure. Floods and largely destructive bushfires have been major events both countries dealt with in the last decade. The frequency and intensity of such extre…
Cross-platform gendertrolling
This study investigates evidences of cross-platform gendertrolling in a high-profile Brazilian sexual harassment case. Gendertrolling is a form of technology-facilitated gender-based violence where individuals become targets of coordinated cyber harassment. It aims to destabilize victims, manipulate organic interactions, and disrupt women's participation in social media. While online misogyny has been the subject of recent studies, little researc…
Amazon’s Digital Local Media Coverage on Large Development Projects With Socio-Environmental Impact
Brazil plays a key geopolitical role in global environmental decisions. However, large development projects linked to agribusiness and mining are often promoted under developmentalist rhetoric despite their socio-environmental controversies. In the Amazon, where these projects are concentrated, digital local media serves as a platform for political and economic interests. While other studies highlight local journalism’s role in diversifying news …
Heaven Holds a Place for Those Who Pray
This comparative study examines the interplay of religious messaging and disinformation in the election campaign material of Jair Bolsonaro and Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the 2022 Brazilian and 2023 Turkish presidential elections. We employ a mixed-methods approach, combining computational keyword filtering and content analysis with qualitative discourse analysis and applied to a corpus of 10,519 posts across seven social media platforms. The analy…
The “Truth” About NGOs
Environmental NGOs in Brazil have become a target of disinformation campaigns, despite their long-standing role in advocating for sustainable policies. This paper investigates how Brazil’s digital media framed the 2023 Parliamentary Inquiry Commission into NGOs operating in the Amazon, revealing the media’s role in advancing legal harassment and disinformation. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines computational text analysis and critical …
Unfair Play
This study examines the indirect lobbying strategies deployed by major digital platforms, to oppose Brazil’s "Fake News Bill", which sought to regulate internet intermediaries in the country. Drawing from primary data collected during the lobbying campaign in April-May 2023, the study analyzes platform ads, search engine recommendations, and direct user communications. The findings reveal systematic violations of platform policies, including unla…

“Deus, Pátria, Família e Liberdade”
In this paper, we aim to map the websites that make up the digital evangelical media ecosystem in Brazil and build our own typology to analyze it. Despite their internal differences, Brazilian evangelicals form an important political force, thanks to efforts that have lasted decades. However, little has been studied about its internet ecosystem and its role in reproducing divisive political positions. We identified evangelical websites shared by …
Greenwashing e Desinformação
O agronegócio, um dos principais setores econômicos do Brasil, compõe uma das mais poderosas forças políticas no congresso do país, a Frente Parlamentar da Agropecuária (FPA), e aparece como o principal impulsionador do lobby anti-ambiental. A FPA busca incidir sobre a legislação trabalhista, fundiária e tributária e foi uma importante aliada do Governo de Jair Bolsonaro, uma vez que a agenda de desmonte ambiental do ex-presidente ia ao encontro …
Recommending instead of taking down
YouTube released a global commitment to reduce the spread of problematic content by actively recommending “trusted” news sources on their platform but did not disclose the criteria used to classify the reputation of channels and the list of trusted news sources favored by the company. We aim to understand the patterns of recommendation by YouTube's algorithm and identify what the platform classifies as “reliable informative sources.” In our exper…
The Far-Right Smokescreen
Holding the greatest area of rainforest in the world, Brazil has seen the adoption of a far-right anti-environmental agenda under the administration of Jair Bolsonaro. This agenda was backed by a transnational infrastructure of right-wing media outlets on online platforms, including the conservative YouTube channel Brasil Paralelo. Our research attempted to understand how environmental conspiracies in Brasil Paralelo's documentary Cortina de Fuma…
We love to hate George Soros
The proliferation of conspiracy theories surrounding George Soros and the ‘Globalist invasion’ had been concentrated primarily in Eastern Europe, Russia and the United States. However, since Jair Bolsonaro’s presidential victory in Brazil, Soros has become a target of the far-right in the country. On Soros’ 90th Birthday in August 2020, the right-wing group ‘Movement for Conservative Brazil’ (Movimento Brasil Conservador – MBC) launched a campaig…
A militância forjada dos bots
Os “bots políticos” são perfis automatizados programados para atuar nas redes sociais com o objetivo de influenciar as discussões políticas, endossar ou difamar um candidato, disseminar propaganda de campanha, criar ruído no debate público e interferir na formação da opinião dos usuários. Este artigo investiga como essas contas afetaram a conversação política no Twitter durante o primeiro turno das eleições municipais de 2016 no Rio de Janeiro, c…
O impacto dos algoritmos no consumo de música
Os Sistemas de Recomendação (RS) são definidos como algoritmos que classificam e recomendam produtos culturais a partir de dados sobre as práticas e o comportamento dos usuários. O objetivo deste artigo é diagnosticar as consequências sociais e culturais dos algoritmos de recomendação de música como intermediários culturais on-line, examinando como e até que ponto eles afetam a percepção cultural, a classificação da música, a formação do gosto, o…
Making up Audience
The purpose of this paper is to discuss if and how Brazilian media outlets make use of automated strategies and artificial intelligence (AI) in order to produce convenient social media metrics about themselves and amplify their relevance on Twitter. We examine how media bots can manipulate online ratings, change social perception of what is relevant and increase engagement with both on- and offline media entities. We extracted three types of data…
