Guest: Ed Coper

We discuss the impact of social media algorithms on political discourse and public opinion. The role of anger and outrage in shaping online content and the need for algorithmic reform, including the challenges of educating people on information literacy and the ethical implications of AI-generated content. We talk about Ed's new book 'Angertainment'. And of course the critical analogy of supermarket shopping trolley return behaviour as a way to draw parallels with political voting patterns.
