How do algorithms influence the way we think and shape society? Every day, more and more algorithms are influencing the way we get information, shop, love, work and travel. Most of what we call “technical” issues are not. They are social issues arising from the emergence of increasingly powerful technologies. They are problems of law, health, economics, education or ethics. And they are also a huge challenge for the media. The battle between what is true and what is false is an old one, but the battlefield has shifted. And today it’s called the Internet. New weapons, new strategies, new types of combatants, new concepts are being invented, such as the “alternative fact” or the “post-truth”. With algorithms, one click and one person’s lie becomes the mistake of thousands of others.
