#EU#BigTech#RecommendationEngines#Personalization#Algorithms: "Another policy tug-of-war could be emerging around Big Tech’s content recommender systems in the European Union where the Commission is facing a call from a number of parliamentarians to rein in profiling-based content feeds — aka “personalization” engines that process user data in order to determine what content to show them.
(...)
The letter, signed by 17 MEPs from political groups including S&D, the left, greens, EPP and Renew Europe, advocates for tech platforms’ recommender systems to be switched off by default — an idea that was floated during negotiations over the bloc’s Digital Services Act (DSA) but which did not make it into the final regulation as it did not have a democratic majority. Instead EU lawmakers agreed to transparency measures for recommender systems, along with a requirement that larger platforms (so called VLOPs) must provide at least one content feed that isn’t based on profiling."
In the US, #personalization and #belonging in #schools have a tense common border. How do we radically #individualize as we also ensure collaboration within a community? It's been a tension since the Founding vision that we be a nation in which individual liberty ensures collective success. How else to do it but to view each person's differences as strengths rather than disadvantages toward solutions to common problems? #education@edutooter@edutooter
Personalization (7-9) “Personalization allows us to get more information into the funnel. Platforms that allow personalized signal erode anonymity. (...) We don't crave connection. We crave authentic connection.”. This is very very true (and I will pretend I didn’t put way too much money in skins in LoL and spend way too much time personalizing my Tiny Tina and Diablo characters instead of playing the actual game) #Personalization#UI#Game https://garden.bradwoods.io/notes/design/personalization

#SocialMedia#DigitalPlatforms#Personalization#Centralization#Search#SearchEngines: "In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in the economies of search and information retrieval concerning how the products of giant platform companies consolidate and represent facts directly in their search results. Concomitantly, media, communication, and information scholars have recently refocused on how media technology companies variably create, collect, connect, and commercialize data related to facts about the world and how such processes have implications for how we know the world. Such approaches often counter popular narratives that seek to frame the problems of platforms in terms of personalization and personalized content. While research on the personalization afforded by media is widespread, platforms also engage in the centralization of facts by merging web data representing factual claims and offering answers directly in search engines and virtual assistants’ results and responses (what we refer to as “fast facts”). These processes considerably affect how knowledge is constructed and shared in a networked society. This special issue collects empirical investigative research on the platformization, exploitation, and centralization of facts while offering a variety of perspectives from which to study these developments, including semantic and infrastructural techniques. This article provides an overview of this field and contextualizes recent media studies on search and information retrieval in broader debates around facts and truth claims."
#SocialMedia#DigitalPlatforms#Algorithms#Ethnomethodology#Personalization: "To conclude, it is fair to say that researching digital platforms pose new challenges compared to most other media forms because of their distinct ontology. Algorithms cannot be the main object of platform studies because of their hyper-modular, invisible, and inextricable nature. This, in addition to platforms’ deep embedding in our everyday lives, calls for novel theories and innovative research methods."
When I upgraded from a Pixel 7 Pro to a Pixel Fold, Google was offering a free Pixel Watch with every Pixel Fold preorder. Since I already had one, I offered it up to my buddy Matt and he posted about it. Google saw it and did something cool and sent us both free new Pixel Watch bands! These look dope!
Can someone please tell Apple to give a design award for #accessibility and #personalization to @MonaApp app? I mean, they really deserved it twice or three times over! :)
10 years ago, my #equity theories of action revolved around attainment of standards: “all students will achieve at grade-appropriate levels.” Today, it’s all about #personalization: “all students will realize the promises of our mission toward their individual aspirations.” That feels like a proper and good evolution. #education#school#students@edutooters@edutooter
