Information

Speaker: Katarzyna Szymielewicz

We want to tell you the story of Joanna, an ordinary Facebook user, whose weaknesses were exploited by algorithms. Together with her we embarked on a journey of testing Facebook control buttons. You will hear an excerpt from the special episode of Panoptykon’s podcast that was released as a way to promote our findings and the knowledge on how Facebook algorithms work among broader audience.

Spoiler alert: it’s not a very optimistic story. And it’s best to listen to it in a calm environment. So just grab your coffee, find yourself some comfortable place to sit and give Joanna 10 minutes of your undivided attention.
