The study of political communication that occurs from social networks has focused almost exclusivelyon the effectiveness of these platforms as electoral tools.However, the understanding of what we can understand as a public and political digital place, fromwhich inputs can be obtained to improve the decision and design processes and monitoring of publicpolicies, seems to be still unattended.This study aims to argue the existence of a “digital political territory”, where it is not only possibleto deploy political action, but it is also possible to find -recognize and analyze, by means of big datatechniques- deliberative elements of the politic discussion, which could serve as inputs for public actionsand decisions (beyond merely electoral ones).For this we identified six specific characteristics, whose cumulative presence would make up the digitalpolitical territory, and we argued that it would only be on Twitter where we can find those characte-ristics.

POR QUE ES TWITTER EL TERRITORIO POLÍTICO DIGITAL

对社交网络中发生的政治传播的研究几乎完全集中在这些平台作为选举工具的有效性上。然而，对我们可以理解的公共和政治数字场所的理解，从中可以获得输入以改进决策和公共政策的设计过程和监控，似乎仍然无人问津。本研究旨在论证“数字政治领土”的存在，在那里不仅可以部署政治行动，还可以发现 - 识别和分析，通过大数据技术——政治讨论的审议要素，可以作为公共行动和决策的输入（不仅仅是选举的）。为此，我们确定了六个具体特征，他们的累积存在将构成数字政治领域，我们认为只有在 Twitter 上我们才能找到这些特征。
