This paper brings some of the results from the research project about <strong>Online Disinformation and the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil. <\/strong>While much has been said about the influence of politicians and the far-right on disinformation, this is one of the first results that brings some data the reinforces this connection is real and political polarization seem to have a huge influence in driving this type of content. Not only we show that disinformation is drive by political content, but also, that fact-checking is unable to circulate among the same pages and groups disinformation circulates.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the abstract:<br \/>\n<em>This article tackles the circulation of disinformation and compares it to fact-checking links about COVID-19 on Facebook in Brazil. Through a mixed-methods approach, we use disinformation and fact-checking links provided by the International Fact-Checking Network\/Poynter, which we looked for in CrowdTangle. Using this data set, we explore (1) which types of public groups\/pages spread disinformation and fact-checking content on Facebook; (2) the role of political ideology in this process; and (3) the network dynamics of how disinformation and fact-checking circulate on Facebook. Our results show that disinformation tends to circulate more on political pages\/groups aligned with the far-right and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, on religious and conspiracy theory pages\/groups, and alternative (hyperpartisan) media. On the other hand, fact-checking circulates more on leftists\u2019 pages\/groups. This implicates that the discussion about COVID-19 in Brazil is influenced by a structure of asymmetric polarization, as disinformation spread is fueled by radicalized far-right groups.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our research lab has another paper out! &#8220;Bolsonaro and the Far Right: How Disinformation About COVID-19 Circulates on Facebook in Brazil&#8221; has just been published in the International Journal of Communication.
