Social media algorithms profoundly affect information dissemination by determining what content users see based on their preferences, behaviors, and interactions. These algorithms prioritize engaging content, often amplifying sensational or trending posts while sometimes downranking or filtering out less popular material. As a result, they shape users' information consumption and influence perceptions of events. Such algorithm-driven environments can lead to the proliferation of echo chambers and misinformation, raising questions about accountability and the responsibilities of social media platforms. This impact underscores the need for critical engagement with shared content.
