algorithmically enhanced confirmation #bias - 6 uncomfortable facts about how #facebook affects what we see #chsocm
The points below are summarised out of a most excellent post (and some of the comments made on that post) by @nathanjurgenson on the the society pages website (which I found via @cyborgology )
For the full detail of the arguments and facts and for further related posts I encourage you to read Nathan's original post (note he discloses in his post that he works for Snapchat but does also make the point that he isn't just picking on Facebook as other social media companies are similar in their approach to falsely claiming their neutrality in what they provide users)
At the foot of this post are links to some other posts that you may find useful
1) A study by facebook researchers found/estimated that:
- conservatives chose 17% less ideologically opposed (to their own views) news stories and added to that bias the facebook algorithm feeds them another 5% less ideologically opposed news stories
- liberals chose 6% less ideologically opposed news stories and added to that bias the facebook algorithm feeds them another 8% less ideologically opposed news stories
(note - in how it was reported the study didn't make the above findings clear nor that the methodology and the findings from it are based on the 9% of facebook users who also put their political orientation on their profiles)
2) But Facebook's line is “it’s not that we control NewsFeed, you control NewsFeed” - which appear contrary to the facts from their own research
3) The newsfeed we see on facebook is in part sorted based on what people are willing to pay. Apparently the 2nd position in the newsfeed is often allocated to sponsored content
4) At recent EuroCPR conference in Brussels it is reported in the comments to Nathan's original post that the Policy Director of Facebook UK, Middle East and Africa mentioned (in front of some 20 people including LSE, University of Amsterdam, The Guardian, …) that Facebook shaped the algorithm in such a way that it shows you (out of 10 items shown) 8 items from your (real) friends and 2 items from other friends: media, companies etc. etc.
5) Our choices about what we look at on facebook is partly a result of how the algorithm teaches us to behave (e.g if certain of our posts are liked we see that and adjust what we post accordingly)
6) The algorithm itself is dynamic and so reacts to and changes with our individual choice.
