Who (or What) Controls What You See On Social Media?
Season 6
Episode 9
What content you see on a given social app or search engine isn’t random– it’s super curated content. And it’s curated by recommendation algorithms. Recommendation algorithms are essentially the computer instructions for how a given social app or search engine decides what to show you. Co-produced with Common Sense Education.
