is awash with novel coronavirus-related misinformation, some of which is being promoted by far right, anti-vaccination and pro-Kremlin online communities.
Accounts categorized into"right-wing groups" by Graphika have played a substantial role in"producing and engaging" with coronavirus disinformation on Twitter, according to the authors of the Graphika report, who utilized multiple maps within the analysis to illustrate Twitter conversation. "Right-wing groups are more populous in the disinformation side of the coronavirus conversation, and they're louder. The content they are producing isn't always false or misleading, but when it is, the space that these accounts occupy in the coronavirus conversation lends that content a large audience," Smith said.
