Social media analysis found little traction behind the planned protest, with many disagreeing as to whether or not the 'Big Game' is even a good target.
says that the concerns are overstated and that a protest of any significance is unlikely. Based in Washington, DC, Pyrra is a firm that monitors social media traffic. Its study of engagement around the supposed plans of the USA Trucker Convoy, as of Saturday, found little to suggest that the protest would go ahead, let alone have any impact.
Minimal social media engagement suggests that a"Freedom Convoy" protest of the Super Bowl is unlikely, according to one firm. Above, an exterior shot of SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles."I think they ran out of time," Dr. Welton Chang, co-founder and CEO of Pyrra Technologies, told Reuters. Chang noted that, in addition to there being minimal online chatter surrounding the hypothetical protest, there has also been a debate amongst those trying to plan the event as to whether or not the Super Bowl is actually an appropriate target. A consensus, he said, has still not been reached.
In its report, Reuters noted that its own review of social media backed up Pyrra's report and"found little support for a Super Bowl plan." In particular, the outlet found"scant mention" of the Super Bowl idea on TruckersForFreedom, a group on the conservative-leaning platform Telegram that shares news of"Freedom Convoy" protests in Canada and elsewhere.
A different channel on Telegram devoted specifically to a hypothetical Super Bowl protest had only one poll running, asking users if they intended to participate. Of the 8,000 users that responded,"the overwhelming majority" said no, according to Reuters.
