16 Days of Activism: Webinar: Influencers, ideology and impact: How algorithms influence and reinforce harmful beliefs | eSafety Commissioner
As part of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, eSafety is hosting a series of webinars focused on empowering Australians to recognise and respond to technology-facilitated abuse. These sessions will provide practical advice and tools to help people stay safe, supported and in control when navigating digital spaces. Exploring a series of de-identified case studies, you will learn about: – The role of algorithms and recommender systems in shaping online experiences, influence emotions and reinforce gendered stereotypes – How platforms keep young people engaged, and the risks of harmful content and prolonged exposure – Strategies to help young people understand how content is chosen for them, and how to build more positive and safe online feeds.
