SPARTA<\/a> – Society, Politics and Risk with Twitter Analysis – is an interdisciplinary project located at the Universit\u00e4t der Bundeswehr in Munich, Germany. It brings together a team of social and computer scientists to build a state-of-the-art infrastructure that enables large scale analyses of real time and historical Tweets. Moreover, the Twitter lab will become a space for scientists to take advantage of cutting-edge NLP approaches for social media analytics – even with low or no code experience. To test and develop the analysis pipelines, SPARTA focuses on two distinct use cases: First, starting from the German federal election campaign of 2021, the project investigates new forms of digital campaigning, including novel actors and types of (mis-)information involved, as well as their consequences for elections and electoral behavior across political contexts. To that end, it engages both in nowcasting, particularly of voters’ sentiments, and retrospective analyses of malicious accounts, networks and interactions. Second, historical Tweets will be used to analyse dynamics within riots and similar forms of violence. The project is interested in understanding the individual-level dynamics and networks behind mobilisation as well as discourses and ideologies surrounding the violence. To begin with, the project studies the Capitol Hill Riots and particularly the various discourses surrounding the violence here, and will subsequently expand analyses to include broader comparisions to other cases.<\/p>\n

DATADRIVEN: Data-driven campaigns: intended and unintended consequences for democracy<\/h4>\n

This project studies if data-driven campaigns using online microtargeting techniques are a threat to democracy. The consortium will focus on both the intended and unintended consequences of data-driven targeting and digital persuasion. In light of ongoing political and societal turmoil, investigating how citizens may be persuaded in a turbulent age and in a changing media landscape has never been more important. The studies will focus on micro (consequences for citizens), meso (consequences for political elites), and macro level effects (consequences for democracy).<\/p>\n
