Abstract

El presente artículo analiza los usos políticos de las redes sociales en España y las funciones de las comunidades digitales que se generan a través de ellas. Para esto se han utilizado la Encuesta Social Europea del año 2018 para España, así como el Estudio Postelectoral Elecciones Generales de noviembre 2019 y el Barómetro Postelectoral del CIS de esa misma elección. Además, se analizan casi medio millón de tweets como respuesta a los mensajes emitidos en Twitter por los principales candidatos en los meses anteriores a las elecciones celebradas en abril. Como principales resultados, se constata un uso polarizado de las redes sociales para informarse y participar, así como la existencia de dos grupos dentro de las comunidades digitales que realizan el proceso de orientación o discusión. Igualmente, a medida que se acerca la fecha de las elecciones, las dinámicas de competición no se construyen en función de la lógica izquierda-derecha, sino en clave gobierno-oposición.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
