Social media is a digital ecosystem defined by algorithmic content delivery that has transitioned from desktop to mobile dominance. It is increasingly recognized as a tool for amplifying fringe political discourse and serving as a primary theatre for modern information warfare.
“The problem with social media algorithms and any kind of algorithm that you get sucked into is it funnels you into this way. Most of the time you're getting a lot of bad information, a lot of outrage farming.”
“we know these algorithms you know from social media are very good at like giving us these little dopamine hits but um that's that's time that we used to spend in spontaneous thought you know daydreaming mind wandering which can be very creative.”
