Description
I explored how big data and algorithms shape the way we think and interact at an individual and societal level. This started from things I kept noticing in everyday life. Through my research, I learned how the personalization and predictability in feeds can reinforce beliefs, limit our critical thinking, deepen polarization and threaten our freedom.
