Resumo

As diferentes possibilidades das mídia social priorizam a narrativa digital interativa automática sobre a disseminação da pandemia de Covid-19 para combater a desinformação e as notícias falsas na Nigéria. Para envolver o público sobre seus riscos à saúde, o chatbot do WhatsApp foi lançado pelo Centro de Controle de Doenças da Nigéria (NCDC) em colaboração com o UNICEF na plataforma U-Report. É o primeiro chatbot interativo multilíngue baseado em SMS da Nigéria a ser executado em todas as redes de telecomunicações móveis (a dark web), WhatsApp e Facebook Messengers para resolver problemas de saúde. Este ensaio descreve o SMS-Chatbot, que oferece narrativas para combater a desinformação de saúde em cinco idiomas: inglês, pidgin, hausa, iorubá e igbo. Uma análise tecnodiscursiva é apresentada para explicar a relação entre o tecnotexto e o wreader, empregando a teoria do wreader de Pedro Barbosa na versão inglesa extraída que é percebida como a prática literária digital no WhatsApp, ou seja, “WhatsApperature”.
