1st Meeting on Algorithmic Accountability Reporting - Berlin

We're happy to have Ray Serrato https://twitter.com/raymserrato presenting his work: Ray was behind the analysis of the right-wing YouTube videos after the neonazi protests in Chemnitz in August 2018. The NYT wrote: „Mr. Serrato scraped YouTube databases for information on every Chemnitz-related video published this year. He found that the platform’s recommendation system consistently directed people toward extremist videos on the riots — then on to far-right videos on other subjects.“ https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/07/world/europe/youtube-far-right-extremism.html

After this, we have time to introduce each other and have a conversation. If you are interested in presenting something, too - please get in touch.
