Major social media platforms, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube are completely controlled by companies using artificial intelligence and algorithms. Promotion of content, the same technique used behind delivering or showing this content to others.
The purpose of controlling content is mainly to expand your business and earn money from companies in various ways. You see if your Facebook friends are 5000 or you have more than 10 thousand followers, now you cannot see the posts of all these friends in your feed, only 10% of people’s posts are visible in your feed and the rest 90%. Your access to content is controlled by algorithms.
Tehreek-e-Insaaf-related content is now being controlled by algorithms, with people working at YouTube and Facebook reporting that these companies have been approached by the government of Pakistan and sharing content related to Tehreek-e-Insaaf.
