论文摘要
本文通过转发和答复的网络表示在Twitter上进行了公开辩论。我们认为，Twitter上可观察到的推文对公众舆论的看法具有直接和中介作用。通过两个网络的相互作用，可以在平台上识别公众舆论的潜在误导性表示。该方法被用来观察有关两项事件的公开辩论：2019年莱比锡市的撒克逊州选举和暴力暴动。我们表明，在这两种情况下，（i）不同的意见群体表现出不同的倾向以参与犯罪，因此对舆论产生了不平等的影响。用户转发极右翼政党和政客的活跃程度明显更高，因此他们的立场不成比例。 （ii）说，用户在大多数人回复不同组的用户的意义上，采取行动要对抗，而相反的情况并非如此。
This article analyses public debate on Twitter via network representations of retweets and replies. We argue that tweets observable on Twitter have both a direct and mediated effect on the perception of public opinion. Through the interplay of the two networks, it is possible to identify potentially misleading representations of public opinion on the platform. The method is employed to observe public debate about two events: The Saxon state elections and violent riots in the city of Leipzig in 2019. We show that in both cases, (i) different opinion groups exhibit different propensities to get involved in debate, and therefore have unequal impact on public opinion. Users retweeting far-right parties and politicians are significantly more active, hence their positions are disproportionately visible. (ii) Said users act significantly more confrontational in the sense that they reply mostly to users from different groups, while the contrary is not the case.
