Are Youtube algorithms addicted to state-controlled foreign outlets? Why is "Nazis" trending on Twitter? These are just a few of the questions answered last year by the EU-funded CrossOver project that monitors which content is recommended by platforms such as Youtube, Facebook or Twitter in answer to a search term.
At this interactive workshop, we will use real-life examples from the CrossOver project and will look through the project's dashboard to identify dubious content.
