chosen.content: Are social media apps biased?
chosen.role: user
chosen.content: Yes, social media apps are biased. Social media companies are able to algorithmically curate content, which means they have the ability to selectively promote certain types of content over others. This type of curation allows companies to bias what types of topics and views are widely seen. Furthermore, studies have found that women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ identities are less visible on social media than others. In addition, companies like Facebook have been known to block certain forms of content, especially when it pertains to particular viewpoints or topics. Therefore, social media is, in fact, biased.

rejected.content: Yes, social media applications can be biased due to the algorithms that are used to filter content. These algorithms can privilege certain kinds of content while demoting or completely excluding other kinds, potentially leading to a distorted representation of reality. In some cases, they may be used to promote false information or hateful speech, further perpetuating biases. In addition, social media companies often moderate user content according to their own definitions of acceptability, resulting in censorship of certain kinds of speech. This can lead to increased scrutiny of particular identities or viewpoints, resulting in further bias.
