Aims:
Understand how algorithms affect search results in general,
and increase your awareness of how your search process affects the sources you find.
Report on and critique your searches to improve balance of results, that is, practice reporting data, visually displaying data, and making recommendations based on that data.
Actions:
1. Observe and screen record your search process
2. Analyse and report on your process, using at least one visual
3. Evaluate and critique your process

Motivational reasoning: Kunda, Z. (1990). The case for motivated reasoning. Psychol Bull, 108(3), 480-498. doi:10.1037/0033-2909.108.3.480

Analytical thinking: Pennycook, G., & Rand, D. G. (2019). Fighting misinformation on social media using crowdsourced judgments of news source quality. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 116(7), 2521. doi:10.1073/pnas.1806781116

Echo chambers: Bessi, A. (2016). Personality Traits and Echo Chambers on Facebook. Computers in Human Behavior 65, 319–24. DOI:10.1016/j.chb.2016.08


There are many factors that influence someone's perception. The following three factors may explain why some people are more likely to go down the rabbit hole. 

1. Motivational reasoning : people often engage in a reasoning process designed to maintain, rather than change, their perceptions of reality even when facing information that contradicts their initial beliefs. Thus, motived reasoning may explain the credibility and acceptance of misinformation. 

2. Lack of analytical thinking : people may lack the skills to analyse the information.  

3. They are already in echo chambers: some tend to join communities that share their values, which then reinforce their pre-existing beliefs.

Social media platforms - reduce exposure and have rules for content - but do these actually work? They direct people to information, remove some content (but not a lot)
People themselves - learn to filter
It's also unavoidable - we just have to live with it. So education is key.

1. Poor journalism (clickbait, misleading headlines, incorrect facts, dumbed-down stories)

Misinformation is prevalent/everywhere - over 50% knowingly encountered misinformation in one week in Australia in 2018-2021. 
2. Social media permeates. This was worst on social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and people experienced it more the more social media platforms they used. 78% of people get news through social media.
2. Australians lack confidence in dealing with misinformation - they can't identify it, or know if they see it. Governments, news media companies and social media companies should step in. Most people don't do anything about misinformation, although younger people may challenge it (low numbers).

-  1p papers that are cheap so lots of people buy them but will lose money unless advertisers buy space ...much more racey than 6p paper that is serious and relies on people buying it to make money
- web limits on advertising - not many! or lacking
- on the web there is lots of advertising that masquerades as not advertising...think things that draw you in to watch a video or enter a competition, or answer a survey...or find somewhere on a map 
- the web is free - or is it? Pay with: 
- data, attention, giving a lot of access to ourselves and our thoughts/ideas - this open to influence, leading to differences in how we may otherwise live our lives (e.g. buy more things and so on).
- loss of ability to focus deeply because ad-supported mediums need a receptive audience - leads to "Casino effect" where you're super receptive and constantly clicking and following links 
A lot of our attention these day is not in the "now" as we spend a lot of time onscreen in a sim reality - this means it's important we understand the motives of the people creating the stuff we are consuming

Notes from how wellness culture and lifestyle influencers spread misleading advice. Esp COVID 19 :
 - Combine far right with wellness (this was originally progressive)
Tactics:
- informal modes of address
- personal updates/anecdotes
- authentic alternative to mainstream
- open to supposed private lives
- equals with followers
- supportive friend
- attract people disillusioned with institutions

- report to online platform and then the e-safety commissioner (Australia)
- recovering from cyberbullying can take a long time
