论文摘要
电报等即时消息平台成为世界各地人们使用的主要沟通方式之一。他们中的大多数是几个小组和渠道的所在地，这些小组和渠道将成千上万的人关注政治话题。但是，他们遭受了错误的信息运动，对世界各地的选举过程有直接影响。虽然某些平台（例如WhatsApp）采取了限制性的政策和措施来减轻由于滥用系统而引起的问题，但其他平台则作为替代方案而出现，几乎没有或没有限制内容中的措施或对误会的措施。电报是其中一种系统，它吸引了更多的用户并越来越受欢迎。在这项工作中，我们介绍了基于网络的系统“ Telegram Monitor”，该系统在这种环境中监视政治辩论，并可以分析多个渠道和公共团体中最共享的内容。我们的系统旨在允许记者，研究人员和事实核对机构确定趋势阴谋论，错误信息宣传运动，或者仅仅监视2022年巴西大选沿该领域的政治辩论。我们希望我们的系统可以协助通过在巴西电报传播的错误信息战斗。
Instant messaging platforms such as Telegram became one of the main means of communication used by people all over the world. Most of them are home of several groups and channels that connect thousands of people focused on political topics. However, they have suffered with misinformation campaigns with a direct impact on electoral processes around the world. While some platforms, such as WhatsApp, took restrictive policies and measures to attenuate the issues arising from the abuse of their systems, others have emerged as alternatives, presenting little or no restrictions on content moderation or actions in combating misinformation. Telegram is one of those systems, which has been attracting more users and gaining popularity. In this work, we present the "Telegram Monitor", a web-based system that monitors the political debate in this environment and enables the analysis of the most shared content in multiple channels and public groups. Our system aims to allow journalists, researchers, and fact-checking agencies to identify trending conspiracy theories, misinformation campaigns, or simply to monitor the political debate in this space along the 2022 Brazilian elections. We hope our system can assist the combat of misinformation spreading through Telegram in Brazil.
