Monday classwork

 Notes:

  • Claimed that some platforms such as Google, Facebook, etc have a biased point of view in terms of electoral positions. 
  • Facebook is more likely to give content matching the user's worldview (regardless of the diverse amount of information that they also portray)
  • Whatever content you most engage with is the content that you'll be seeing the most, for example, if you comment, like, or share a post then Facebook's algorithm takes it that you want to see more of the content. 
  • "These platforms are businesses trying to generate money through more eyeballs"
  • Facebook has been said to be biased against conservatives 
  • "Hard to decide in today's society what even is truth" 
  • People providing misinformation know how to work with algorithms provided by social platforms in order to get it in front of people.
