9. FACEBOOK – example of a discussion
To that point I´d like to mention that we didn´t have meny „haters“ of Census, but these people were very resistant and created about 20 % of negative reactions.

10. SOCIAL NETWORKS – Facebook
Facebook page - suitable channel for the presentation of the activities of the CZSO in understandable way for the general public. The Office became something more concrete in the minds of people; the very abstract idea of census purpose was replaced by specific examples of how information and data can be used in practice.
Regarding interactivity, which was one of the effects of communication on social networks (together with informing the people who did not actively participate), the Census page had in total 1,686 posts on the Wall and about twice that number in discussion threads. Approximately one fourth of these posts were reactions by administrators.
About 50% of administrator posts had a positive effect – resolving a problem, satisfaction with the information, thanks.
About 30% of reactions led to other following questions.
From the 20% of negative reactions, the overwhelming majority was caused by the most active contributors who were consistently against the census.

17. SOCIAL NETWORKS – MAIN FINDINGS
Practical examples of the use of Census data – turned out to be useful.
The main source of information was the knowledge database. Very important was also the cooperation of the individual parties (Czech Statistical Office, PR team, media agency).
Video tutorials played a significant part in providing information in the final phase of the communication.
It was important to determine priorities when answering questions and create discussion threads.
Some individuals created an enormous amount of content.
Among the most often quoted opinions raised against the Census were those who publicly spoke against the census (anti-instructions published at dfens-cz.com).
It was clear that the antipathy towards the census is primarily a reflection of a negative attitude towards Czech politics as a whole.
