I would be interested in using such a video with my class as well. It would be fabulous if a link to the final video could be shared here as well--if willing.
Thanks

Subject: [Air-L] Guest Lecture on Algorithms and Social Media

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for someone who can speak about social media algorithms to my
social media class (we can record a 10 minute Zoom conversation).

Basically I will ask you to explain to my students:
What is an algorithm?
How do social media platforms use them?
How do these algorithms impact the type of content we see on platforms?
How are the platforms benefiting from the algorithms?
How are users impacted by algorithms in terms of privacy, data, etc.

After I record the Zoom I will share it with my class and if you are
interested I will upload it to my Youtube channel and share it with a large
social media group of social media, PR and advertising professors.

If you are interested in participating, please drop me a line.

Thanks, Guy
