Monday Task - algorithms, information and news

 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.
