Are social media apps biased?
<|assistant|>
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.
