Description

Magda Skrzypek:

"Back in March, I wrote a piq “YouTube And Its Radicalizing Algorithm” that summarized a sharp New York Times op-ed written by Zeynep Tufekci, a techno-sociologist and a professor at the University of North Carolina. Describing her as "one of the clearest thinkers around on how digital platforms work, how their algorithms understand and shape our preferences, and what the consequences are for society," Vox’s Ezra Klein Show invited Tufekci last week to discuss radicalization on YouTube and beyond.

The conversation between Tufekci and Klein resulted in a wonderfully informative and thought -provoking podcast focused on social media platforms. " (https://www.piqd.com/technology-politics/podcast-dissecting-social-media-why-online-politics-gets-so-extreme-so-fast?)
