Behind the curtain of social media platforms
A team of researchers of the University of Zurich, ETH Zurich and the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Automation, including Florian Dörfler, Professor at the Automatic Control Laboratory (IfA) at D-ITET, investigated how social media influencers arise and how communities form around them. Their results may lead to measures that mitigate the polarization that occurs on these platforms.
