随着非民主政权适应社交媒体的激增，它们已开始积极与Twitter接触，以增强政权的韧性。利用2014年委内瑞拉反马杜罗抗议活动期间委内瑞拉议员推特账户中的数据，我们在推文文本上建立了一个话题模型，并分析了两个联盟在标签使用方面的模式。我们认为，面对像La Salida开发并在Twitter上推广的那种事关生死存亡的威胁，该政权的最佳策略是推进许多相互竞争的叙事，解决与反对派的批评无关的问题。我们的结果表明，两个联盟追求不同的修辞策略，与我们关于管理抗议者提出的冲突的预测一致。这篇文章扩展了有关抗议期间社交媒体使用的文献，重点介绍了该政权积极参与社交媒体的情况。这一方法证实并扩展了最近关于从宣传和审查中推断政权战略的研究。
As non-democratic regimes have adapted to the proliferation of social media, they have began actively engaging with Twitter to enhance regime resilience. Using data taken from the Twitter accounts of Venezuelan legislators during the 2014 anti-Maduro protests in Venezuela, we fit a topic model on the text of the tweets and analyze patterns in hashtag use by the two coalitions. We argue that the regime’s best strategy in the face of an existential threat like the narrative developed by La Salida and promoted on Twitter was to advance many competing narratives that addressed issues unrelated to the opposition’s criticism. Our results show that the two coalitions pursued different rhetorical strategies in keeping with our predictions about managing the conflict advanced by the protesters. This article extends the literature on social media use during protests by focusing on active engagement with social media on the part of the regime. This approach corroborates and expands on recent research on inferring regime strategies from propaganda and censorship.
