Episode 6: Algorithms, can you trust them?

Algorithms are a part of our life whether we like it or not. We, as a society, have more opportunity than we might think when it comes to the content we consume on social media. On the one hand, Joanna Stern from the Wall Street Journal, argues that we have lost complete control over what we "see, read and even think". On the other hand, Nick Clegg argues that we are active participants and our news feed are actually heavily shaped by our choices and actions. In this episode, we discuss our experiences with polarization, echo chambers and how we contribute to our own algorithms.

Here is the piece in question that we discuss during this episode - You and the Algorithm: It Takes Two to Tango by Nick Clegg.
