As algorithms surface valuable resources and information, they also amplify censorship, misinformation and disinformation which limit access to accurate information in relation to structurally silenced communities; shorturl.at/hjY14 #NavigatingAlgorithms #IDUAI2024

Thank you @HOLAAfrica, for amplifying our report study on #NavigatingAlgorithms. It is through such collaborative efforts and invaluable support that we can combat the negative impacts of algorithms and push for fair content moderation policies.

“The internet and social media algorithms in particular can be a positive influence for Ugandans. But they are also a weapon that is wielded against the nation’s LGBTQ+ community.” - @sand_riza, ED @HerInternet (@Mozilla via rb.gy/d1b2n2) #NavigatingAlgorithms

Hate speech profoundly impacts human rights, activists, and civic spaces, undermining the dignity of targeted individuals and communities which fosters violence and discrimination both online and offline. @UN via shorturl.at/cZwLy #Fastfacts #NoToHate #NavigatingAlgorithms

“Algorithms can also translate into misinformation and hate speech that can lead to dangerous real-life situations and misinterpretation." Delve deeper about the research study via shorturl.at/hjY14 #InternationalDayForCounteringHateSpeech #NoToHate #NavigatingAlgorithms

Let’s reassess the benefits of algorithms given the current circumstances and ensure they offer us safety and visibility despite the challenges we face. @akitengisabella shares her thoughts about algorithms. #NavigatingAlgorithms #Motisha

Amidst the digital age, social media platforms and big tech must discredit their algorithms. Some of the recommendations from #NavigatingAlgorithms show that they should prioritize enhanced content moderation and provide access to research data. shorturl.at/hjY14

According to the respondents in the recent research study #NavigatingAlgorithms conducted by @HerInternet (shorturl.at/hjY14), algorithms on social media platforms positively impact structurally silenced communities in the following ways👇🏾

In HER Internet’s latest report on #NavigatingAlgorithms when it comes to social media usage, the commonly used platform according to the respondents was TikTok which ranked most popular and Facebook was ranked least popular. And this why. To read more; shorturl.at/hjY14

#FastFacts Social media Algorithms significantly impact structurally silenced communities by amplifying visibility and representation but also exposing them to harmful content and privacy risks, shaping their online experiences and community interactions. #NavigatingAlgorithms

Do you scroll endlessly, switching between apps from one comment section to another, from dawn till dusk? The time spent navigating the digital landscape is controlled by social media algorithms and this is how they work on different platforms. #NavigatingAlgorithms #TechTuesday

This research report delves into realities, effects, challenges, and recommendations on how to influence social media algorithms to advance our respective advocacy goals and efforts. #NavigatingAlgorithms
