Скачать или смотреть How Social Media Algorithms Are Pushing Racist Content Into Our Feeds

Social media platforms shape what billions of people see every day, but few users understand how much algorithms influence which voices, stories, and ideas rise to the top. This video examines how recommendation systems on platforms such as X, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube can unintentionally amplify racist and harmful content, reward outrage, and deepen social divisions. It explains how engagement driven systems work, why extreme or emotional posts often spread faster than accurate or responsible information, and what this means for public discourse, democracy, and social cohesion. More broadly, the video explores what can be done by platforms, policymakers, and users to reduce harm while preserving free expression in the digital age.
