Promote the need for sincere information for a democracy based on trust
This project aims to identify YouTube videos discussing the topic of election fraud as it pertains to the most recent U.S. presidential elections. The project has identified close to 8,000 videos on the topic, which have generated approximately 680 million views in total. The report indicates that while the majority of these videos dispute claims of widespread election fraud, a large part of the total traffic (several hundred million views) is directed towards videos supporting these claims. The report also notes that FoxNews, despite its right-wing affiliation, has distanced itself from the narrative of a massively fraudulent election.
