Ancora sull' analisi dell'algoritmo di facebook
Oggi, la WebFoundation ha rilasciato un report in cui ho avuto il piacere di collaborare anch'io. Il test è stato realizzato durante le elezioni Argentine e poi durante le proteste in concomitanza del WTO. Parla di circolazione delle informazioni tra newsmedia ed utenti, quando un algoritmo sta nel mezzo. Qui le sintesi: 1. *Large gaps between the number of stories published and seen by our profiles:* Our profiles were shown an average of one out six posts from across all the pages that they were following. 2. *No exposure to certain types of stories: *When algorithms curate content, critical social and political posts may not be shown to users. For example, during the period observed, none of the stories published about femicide were surfaced on the feeds of our profiles, while stories about homicides were shown. 3. *Different levels of exposure to different articles:* Users with the exact same profile details, following the same news sites, were not exposed to the same set of stories. https://webfoundation.org/research/the-invisible-curation-of-content-faceboo... -- Claudio Agosti, https://facebook.tracking.exposed - https://twitter.com/_vecna PGP mail: claudio﹫tracking・exposed - key here https://keybase.io/vecna
