Algorithmic politics

When algorithms curate what political information you see, based on what you have already engaged with, the result is not a mirror of the political world — it is a hall of mirrors tuned to your existing concerns. Algorithmic politics makes everyone more certain and the common ground more difficult to find. The mechanism is not opinion; it is architecture.
