As soon as we noticed strange comments on Kloop's Instagram, we decided to check the accounts of other news outlets and publics. To do this, we have compiled a list of news accounts with more than 1000 subscribers.
Our programmers wrote code and dumped comments under media posts over a three-week period: one week before the impeachment petition of the president appeared and two weeks after.
Then we filtered the comments by keywords: “impeachment”, “president”, “Raushan” and found comments from users who opposed Jeenbekov's resignation and scolded Aitkulova. We have also updated the database with all fake comments (not only about impeachment) since February 2020.
In the future, we once again rechecked all accounts manually, removed the closed ones and those that wrote with different rhetoric (equally praised and scolded the authorities).
