  • New study shows just how Facebook’s algorithm shapes conservative and liberal bubbles

    The answer seems to be yes. After analyzing popular political news links posted on the platform between September 2020 and February 2021, the researchers found that there’s not much overlap between political news consumption within the two camps. Segregation also increases as a news link moves from being selected by the algorithm, to being seen by a user, to being interacted with.

    That ideological gap was larger than what other research has shown for overall news consumption online and in traditional media.

    “This borders on an indictment of Facebook’s algorithm,” said Laura Edelson, a computer scientist and postdoctoral researcher at NYU. She was not involved with the project but has done similar research and reviewed the studies’ findings. (In 2021, Edelson and her team were blocked from accessing Facebook after a clash over the data they were collecting.)



  • The study examined self-reported earnings and quarterly federal wage data from the two-year period surrounding the law’s effective date of Jan. 1, 2021. Both data sets show that worker pay rose 1.3% higher in Colorado when compared to other states.

    Those positive effects for employees occurred despite the fact that compliance with the law isn’t universal; the NBER study found the percentage of job postings disclosing salary data rose from 35% to 70% in the year following implementation. More recent analyses have estimated that 1 in 5 job postings in Colorado are still noncompliant with the law.
