The Algorithmic Abuser: Manipulating Online Communities for Harm

In this compelling discussion, we explore the dark side of algorithm-driven online communities, where predators exploit recommendation systems to manipulate vulnerable individuals. We'll examine real-life cases where abusers have used algorithms to create echo chambers, fostering harmful ideologies and isolating victims from support networks. Our hosts will dissect the technical mechanisms behind these manipulative algorithms, the psychological impact on individuals drawn into these communities, and the challenges faced by platforms in moderating content. Join us as we navigate the complexities of algorithmic abuse and the urgent need for ethical oversight in online spaces.
