Description

This dataset comprises 195,567 message IDs shared by 6,802 unique Telegram users on 25 pro-Bolsonaro public Telegram groups during August 2022, when the presidential campaign for the 2022 Brazilian elections started. 

The message ID provided by Telegram API is unique only for the group or channel where it was posted. For this reason, the dataset provides the message ID and the group username (@). 

Technical info

The Python script's updated version now includes functionality to identify the exclusion or blockage of Telegram groups. In addition to generating the messages output file, the script produces a log file. This log file records the status of each Telegram group, providing insights into their current operational state.

Additionally, this version includes four files containing the lists of the messages' words and their frequency, per week of August 2022.
