1/ So this analysis is the top thing you see when you search for #tunisia. It’s been used by @trtworld for a very propaganda-like video (on propaganda - incidentally) .
Giving credit to researcher for saying his findings don’t reflect internal Tunisian politics (they don’t)

2/ they dont bcause internally in #Tunisia very few people use Twitter (mostly Facebook) & the trend didnt have success. Tunisian twittersphere is surprisingly small. If true the data reveals outside forces’ interest in using the moment for their own purposes & regional dynamics
3/ What I’m more interested in is what the reverse trend (something like #savetunisiandemocracy) will reveal in terms of other countries’ involvement (Turkey / Qatar) in promoting that sort of language including coup narratives. I’m sure we’ll find a pretty strong bot trend there
4/ I don’t have access to fancy quantitative data and network analysis software - but I will say that with minimal effort my friend @rania_tn managed to reveal pretty significant involvement from Turkish accounts (the list goes on - screenshot doesn’t do it justice)

Guys this is a long but really really interesting thread by @rhizomyx : please go through it if you want to understand the problems with the limited information shared in the research by the Qatar-based analyst above. It’s worth it. #Tunisia #misinformation
