contents In this paper, we study the Greek wiretappings scandal, which has been revealed in 2022 and attracted a lot of attention by press and citizens. Specifically, we propose a methodology for collecting data and analyzing patterns of online public discussions on Twitter. We apply our methodology to the Greek wiretappings use case, and present findings related to the evolution of the discussion over time, its polarization, and the role of the media. The methodology can be of wider use and replicated to other topics. Finally, we provide publicly an open dataset, and online resources with the results.
