Sosyal medya kullanımının ayrılmaz parçaları olan trol, bot ve cyborg gibi araçlar, bilişimsel propaganda etkileriyle demokrasiyi tehdit etmeye başlamışlardır. Bu nedenle, Türkiye’de sosyal medya üzerinden yapılan iletişimde bu unsurların kullanıp kullanılmadığı, kullanıldıysa hangi oranda kullanıldığının bulunması önemli bir meseledir ve araştırmaya değerdir. 23 Haziran 2019 Seçimleri, böylesi bir araştırma için iyi bir ortam sunmaktadır. Bu araştırmada Türkiye’de Twitter trafiği içerisinde trol, bot ve cyborg hesapları konu edinilmiştir. 2019 Haziran İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediye Başkanlığı seçimlerinde aday olan Binali Yıldırım ve Ekrem İmamoğlu’nun Twitter seçim kampanyalarını yürüttükleri hesapların takipçilerine, iletilerine etkileşimli olarak katılan ve katkı sağlayan hesaplara odaklanılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye’de Twitter trafiği içerisinde trol hesaplarının yanı sıra bot ve cyborg hesaplarının yaygın olup olmadığını belirlemesidir. Adayların hashtagler’inin diğer kullanıcılarca hangi kaynaklardan dolaşıma sokulduğu GitHub TCAT açık kaynak yazılımıyla gerçekleşmiştir. Bot ya da cyborg şüphelisi hesaplara rastlanmış en aktif ikişer tanesi ağ analizi ve görselleştirme yazılımı olan Gephi ile takibe alınmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda cyborg ve bot gibi otomatikleşmiş hesaplara rastlanmış bu türden hesapların yalnızca siyasetçilerin takipçi kullanıcıları tarafından değil, kamu gündemi yaratmaya çalışan çıkar grupları tarafından da kullanılmaya başlandığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
