It’s always a real privilege for us to talk about our monitoring project at events and conferences.

Explore concerning trends in Youtube’s search and recommendation algorithms in the context of the 2024 Finnish Presidential election campaign. More recommendations for the far-right and right-wing candidates and a funnelling effect, steering users to a limited set of channels.

Check First and the Finnish fact-checking organisation Faktabaari have developed a methodology that allows anyone to look under the hood of social media recommendation algorithms.

The CrossOver Finland project investigates what recommendation algorithms suggest to Finns on different social media platforms. CrossOver projects have previously been successfully implemented in Belgium and other French-speaking countries.

CrossOver has been selected by the jury of the European Media and Information Fund, securing its place in the second round of calls for proposals amidst 100 applications.

We’re thrilled to announce a new milestone in our journey towards data transparency and platform accountability. The scrapers we used in the CrossOver project to confront data with the information provided by platform’s official APIs are now open-sourced!

CrossOver has been selected by the Mozilla Technology Fund to continue running for a year in 8 more regions.

Since algorithms, and in particular, those of search engines and social media, influence our information, consumption, relationships and politics, citizens should know how they word and what their effects are.
