Criterios noticiables en el debate político digital de Ecuador en el paro de octubre de 2019.

Abstract

The following investigation analyze the reasons for the political behaviour of digital server armies that support a trend and the way to govern to the detriment of another. They are prepared to push the chaos of the abrupt termination of a mandate, despite the serious consequences this can cause. This is made by a case study: the activity of the self called “digital warriors” in the national strike accomplished in Ecuador between October 3rd and 11th of 2019 against the new economic measures stablished by President Lenin Moreno, especially the measure that establishes the increase of the fuel’s price. This cross sectional study focuses on the predisposition of Ecuadorian society to be recipient of numerous false information (fake news) which achieve human mobilizations and violence through the data that is generated in the main digital scene used for these purposes, Twitter. This study considers that a lack of a clear message from the government makes the dissatisfied audiences a fertile ground for those who distort reality in their favor, through social media.
