Manage episode 477377916 series 3418004
How Systems Like Community Notes on Twitter/X Aim to Break the Cycle of Misinformation
Are social media algorithms fueling misinformation and deepening echo chambers—or can they help bridge divides? In this episode, we talk with Paul Resnick, a pioneer in recommender systems and digital trust, about how platforms curate content, the truth behind filter bubbles, and whether fact-checking tools like Community Notes on Twitter (X) can cut through the noise. Can algorithms be redesigned to reduce outrage instead of amplifying it? Tune in to find out!
