SA Panel: Inflation dominates comments on economy with social media disapproval, survey says

The buzz on the social network, when it comes to economics, continues to be dominated by inflation, according to monitoring carried out between May 17 and 23 by the data analysis and media agency .MAP, based on the qualitative evaluation of publications on Facebook and Twitter. Disapproval exceeds 80%, driven by the rise in fuel and food prices.

The difficulty of employment had more than 17% of participation in the debate of Internet users on the economy, and the job market, almost 20%, with disapproval of 97%. Discussions around government tenders and privatizations had almost 17% participation and 20% support, according to the survey.

While politics dominates the debate on social networks, public support for issues aimed at the well-being of the population has gained prominence, according to .MAP, with 60% of the general debate, compared to 28% the previous week.

In all audiences, manifestations in favor of diversity, sex education, combating racism and homophobia prevailed in the period, driven by the LGBTQIA+ World Day.

The director general of .MAP, Marília Stabile, says that the networks show that people remain concerned about their daily lives in the wake of inflation and seem to be engaged in greater activism.
