How have social media algorithms changed the way we interact?
1Social media algorithms, in their commonly
known form, are now 15 years old.
They were born with Facebook’s introduction
4 of ranked, personalised news feeds in 2009 and have
transformed how we interact online.
And like many teenagers, they pose a challenge
7 to grown‑ups who hope to curb their excesses.
It’s not for want of trying. This year alone,
governments around the world have attempted to limit
10 the impacts of harmful content and disinformation on
social media – effects that are amplified by algorithms.
In Brazil, authorities briefly banned X, formerly
13 known as Twitter, until the site agreed to appoint a legal
representative in the country and block a list of accounts
that the authorities accused of questioning the legitimacy
16 of the country’s last election.
Meanwhile, the EU has introduced new rules
threatening to fine tech firms 6% of turnover and suspend
19 them if they fail to prevent election interference on their
platforms.
In the UK, a new online safety act aims to compel
22 social media sites to tighten content moderation.
And in the US, a proposed law could ban TikTok
if the app isn’t sold by its Chinese parent company.
25 The governments face accusations that they are
restricting free speech and interfering with the principles
of the internet as laid down in its early days.
28 In a 1996 essay that was republished by 500
websites – the closest you could get to going viral back
then – US poet and cattle rancher John Perry Barlow
31 argued: “Governments of the Industrial World, you weary
giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the
new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of
34 the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among
us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.”.
Adam Candeub is a law professor and a former
37 advisor to President Trump, who describes himself as a
free speech absolutist.
Social media is “polarising, it’s fractious, it’s
40 rude, it’s not elevating – I think it’s a terrible way to have
public discourse”, he tells the BBC. “But the alternative,
which I think a lot of governments are pushing for, is to
43 make it an instrument of social and political control and I
find that horrible.”.
Professor Candeub believes that, unless “there
46 is a clear and present danger” posed by the content, “the
best approach is for a marketplace of ideas and openness
towards different points of view”.
