The Algorithmic State of Mind: A Human Rights Frame for Governing News Recommendation (Information Technology and Law Series, 42) by Judith Vermeulen
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4.7 MB
Overview: This book conceptualises different ‘news recommendation’ practices from a legal perspective and establishes ways forward for dealing with them.
In recent years, online news distributors (online news media, social media, search engines and news aggregators) started deploying algorithmic ‘recommender systems’ to curate users’ news overviews. Such systems automatically (de)select and (de)prioritise items to be displayed in user interfaces, thus deciding which ones are visible and in what order.
