Based on a dataset of over 20 million tweets, we explore the research question: What are the key characteristics of the disinformation campaigns aimed to influence the Brazilian 2018 election through political conversations on Twitter? To discuss this question, we aligned our results with three key aspects of the disinformation campaigns: (a) content strategies; (b) legitimation strategies and (c) spread strategies.</p>}, journal={AoIR Selected Papers of Internet Research}, author={Recuero, Raquel and Soares, Felipe and Vinhas, Otavio and Zago, Gabriela}, year={2020}, month={Oct.} }
