This is the first story in our investigation trilogy titled Facebook Algorithmic Factory, created with the intention to map and visualise a complex and invisible exploitation process hidden behind a black box of the World’s largest social network

The three stories are exploring four main segments of the process:

Data collection – Immaterial Labour and Data harvesting
Storage and Algorithmic processing – Human Data Banks and Algorithmic Labour
Targeting – Quantified lives on discount

Highly recommended read, it is actually 3 articles which make for the best analysis of faceshit I know of.

There are some, in our opinion, interesting and relevant algorithms that are used in the process of quantiication and monetisation of our everyday life. The featured algorithms are just few examples of probably hundreds and hundreds of different algorithms that try to understand every our action and post, classify us into nano-sub categories and predict our future behaviour.
