Definisjon av algoritmer fra Klinger og Svendsen:
Hence, algorithms should be understood as material as well as social processes as their calculations may be based on direct articulations from the programmer, on data they draw their calculations from, or data generated from calculations in previous steps. Algorithmic processes consists of many steps of which we crudely can discern (a) input, the designing/programming (often based around problems that need to be solved), which (b) leads to the formulation of one (or several) calculations which operate in a big-data context, calculations that then (c) result in some kind of outcome (output).En bok om hvordan dette kan gå galt: Automating inequality.

Plattformene har forskjellig politikk for å levere innhold. Dette kommer tydelig fram, og det er mulig å bruke erfaringene fra en plattform for å søke på en annen.
Signaling theory
... and how seemingly pointless or irrational behaviors, such as online fashion and risk taking, actually signal social information.Gerrard 2018
I received similar and almost daily emails from Pinterest during my investigation, and although I had to carefully develop a methodology to find some pro-ED content, it became almost inescapable once I was embedded in these spaces. These automated messages reveal important contradictions between platforms’ policies against pro-ED and self-harm content and their technologies, which are developed to create a personalized experience for each user. Platforms have not yet algorithmically reconciled their moral stances on eating disorders and self-harm, meaning they simultaneously push and deny problematic content to their users.
