Algorithmic radicalization refers to the process by which algorithms—typically used by social media platforms and online content recommendation systems—promote or amplify extremist or radical content. This phenomenon occurs when algorithms prioritize engagement metrics, such as likes, shares, and views, over the quality or safety of the content being promoted.
