What’s in the Black Box? How Algorithmic Knowledge Promotes Corrective and Restrictive Actions to Counter Misinformation in the USA, the UK, South Korea and Mexico
Myojung Chung | August 2023
Abstract: While there has been a growing call for insights on algorithms given their impact on what people encounter on social media, it remains unknown how enhanced algorithmic knowledge serves as a countermeasure to problematic information flow. To fill this gap, this study aims to investigate how algorithmic knowledge predicts people’s attitudes and behaviors regarding misinformation through the lens of the third-person effect.
