    According to a report by the Knight Foundation, 86% of college students believe that social media companies censor political views that they disagree with (Grimmer & Tucker, 2020).

    When using the internet, people generally get a very personalized experience. Most social media sources and search engines track users’ product usage, and utilize algorithms to give users personalized content. This personalized content, content that the user would wish to encounter, causes the user to increase their usage level of the product, giving technology companies more money.
