The Algorithm Is Not Neutral

Are the technologies shaping our lives really neutral?

In this episode of The Revolution Resolution, Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs explores how social media platforms and algorithms don't simply reflect society—they learn from it. And in a world already organized around hierarchy, those technologies can amplify the very inequalities, fears, and insecurities they inherit.

From beauty standards and body image to outrage, misinformation, and online radicalization, this conversation examines how digital platforms are designed around engagement—and why that incentive structure can reinforce harmful social patterns.

Because algorithms are not asking what helps people flourish.

They're asking what keeps people watching.

Understanding that distinction is essential if we hope to build a healthier relationship with technology—and with one another.
