How Social Media Algorithms Control Us - Tech Today

What this episode covers

Every time you scroll through Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, you’re not just browsing—you’re being guided. Behind the scenes, complex algorithms decide what you see, what you don’t, and even how long you’ll stay. These invisible systems have immense power, shaping not just online habits but also opinions, moods, and in some cases, entire societies.
