🧵My paper on "Uneven Datafication" just came out! It draws on literature on coloniality, uneven development and dependency. Uneven datafication operates through three interrelated dynamics: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

🖨️ I've had the pleasure of responding to an insightful article in Dialogues on Digital Society that considers the role of algorithms in public opinion formation. The journal actively invites scholarly commentary on its articles – a somewhat unusual format for me. journals.sagepub.com...

Algorithmic Gatewatching and Its Implications
Axel Bruns
Digital Media Research Centre, Queensland University of Technology

This response to the article ‘Conceptualising the “Algorithmic Public Opinion”: Public Opinion Formation in the Digital Age’ by Alessandro Gandini, Silvia Keeling, and Urbano Reviglio considers the concept of algorithmic public opinion and highlights that while the algorithms of digital and social media platforms and associated information and communication infrastructures now exert a substantial inﬂuence on how public opinion formation unfolds (the process) and what public opinion patterns emerge as a result (the product), these algorithms are by no means the sole determinant of process and product. It argues instead that the ordinary users of these platforms – and they are active users of these communicative spaces, not just passive ‘audiences’ for the communicative efforts of others – retain signiﬁcantly more agency than this article’s discussion affords them.
