Using network analysis, the accounts posting comments or replies to each candidate were mapped out. The diagram shows the presence of large cones indicating some women leaders' accounts had a concentrated number of accounts leaving negative comments on just their social media accounts. This can be an indication of targeted attacks towards specific women with the size of the cone indicating the number of accounts targeting a specific candidate. In this diagram four (4) women specifically received a large number of replies compared to other accounts. The large size of the cones evidences this.
