Argument

[NARROW-VARIANT] Tucker et al. (2018) reviewed the scientific literature and concluded that causal evidence linking algorithmic curation specifically to mass polarization is mixed and limited. The review found that while social media exposure correlates with polarization-related outcomes, the causal contribution of algorithms specifically remains unestablished. Therefore (narrowed), The experimental evidence available by 2024 strengthens the conclusion that causal evidence linking algorithmic curation specifically to mass polarization is limited.
