「前回玉城氏」3割が古謝氏へ 重視政策で辺野古後退―沖縄知事選・出口調査
「辺野古移設を決めた張本人は玉城デニー」「反対運動は自作自演」。7月26日午前10時すぎに上がったX(旧ツイッター)の投稿は一見すると、玉城氏自身が米軍普天間飛行場の移設決定を「すばらしい英断」と評価したように見える構成だった。
SNS分析ツール「ブランドウォッチ」で調べると、最初の1時間で54件だったリポストは、3時間で累計1300件超、6時間で3600件超に膨らんだ。
プロフィルや投稿内容、位置情報などから所在地を推定できたリポストは24時間で1927件。東京都が6割超を占め、沖縄県は24件(1.2%)にとどまった。
しかし、玉城氏が辺野古移設を決めた事実はなく、投稿の内容は事実と異なっていた。「すばらしい英断」という発言も、辺野古移設を評価したものではなかった。
翌日から誤りを指摘する投稿も現れたが、最も広がったものでも、24時間のリポストは600件余りにとどまった。民間団体「日本ファクトチェックセンター」は8月、元になった投稿を「誤り」と判定した。
知事選では、当選した新人の古謝玄太氏についても「国益にかなう沖縄をつくる」と書かれたポスター風画像がX上objectIdに出回り、陣営が作成を否定した。
8月27日~9月13日の選挙期間中、「沖縄県知事選」「沖縄知事選」の単語を含むXの投稿は約167万件に上った。発信地を都道府県単位で推定できた約36万件のうち、約95%が沖縄県外からだった。
