Sure it is. Is it Meta’s algorithm, is it user reach, is it paid ads, is it channels, is it memes, is it leaning, is it…

Meta is participating in a pretty big study with actual researchers here. I’m no Meta fan, and this is partly for PR I’m sure, but this is a really good thing that more social media companies should do.

Those seem like “how” or “why” questions to me. More complicated. The big one is “how do we prevent” and I bet we won’t get an honest answer from big social themselves. That’s why there should be independent public research.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
