Overview

This research uncovers how algorithmic governance influences user behavior and public perception, indicating significant implications for discourse in different political contexts.

Key Points

Algorithmic governance significantly shapes public perception, indicating how platforms like Weibo and TikTok affect information visibility in varying political contexts.
Findings reveal that both platforms reinforce filter bubbles and amplify emotional contagion, increasing user susceptibility to influence through curated content.
Comparative case studies of censorship during the Li Wenliang incident and content control related to the U.S. Capitol riots provide insights into differing platform roles.
The opacity of algorithmic systems undermines democratic deliberation and individual autonomy, suggesting a need for stronger regulatory and educational measures.
