@ad45_education @bonstewart Oh I've fallen into this trap before too! I could go on amazon to buy something as small as a new phone charger... before I know it I've added 4 more things to my cart

@Jessica89324709 Companies spend millions every year on search engine optimization so that their websites stay at the top of these algorithms! #unboundeq

@SamRich34073215 I thought for sure that interviews would be the one area where tech and algorithms would be left out... But I guess that companies will try anything to reduce costs and streamline the hiring process. #unboundeq

@SomeDieu TikTok is the worst for this! The other night I opened the app to watch a video a friend sent me... next thing I know its 1 a.m. 😬 #unboundeq

Q4: It is in the best interests of the public to have reliable and credible media/social platforms for news purposes. Algorithms seem to hinder this as they have the potential to increase polarization by feeding people info that is one-sided #unboundeq

@Meg66145781 @allysonb__ I had to stop using Facebook for this very reason! So many people will blindly share posts full of misinformation just because it aligns with their opinions. #unboundeq

Q3: I use Twitter mostly for breaking/political/COVID news. I like how the algorithm will have either breaking news or most trending at the top of my timeline. By doing so I think the alg primary focus is delivering info that has a lot of engagement

Q2: The example that Dr. Benjamin mentioned about the amazon interview algorithm and how it was purposely dismissing female applicants really stood out to me. It makes you question if algorithms should be used in this capacity #unboundeq

A1b: Recently set up a teacher Instagram profile. I noticed after following some of my friends professional profiles that Instagram was suggesting to follow other similar accounts.

I thought this was cool as it facilitates community building of like minded ppl #unboundeq

A1a: #unboundeq Last week I liked a facebook post that was advertising the sale of a home. Now I'm getting bombarded with ads from all over Ontario!

I wonder if the algorithm is influence more by engagement or ad revenue?

I like looking at these ads but this is my bank account
