SvD Tech brief – 15 min
122. Answers: Why is there no transparency about how algorithms work?
An anonymous Tech Brief listener wonders how the big tech companies can get away with so little transparency about how their algorithms work. He takes dating apps as an example and points out that likes there are hardly delivered with the same reliability for all users. Henning Eklund talks about the big differences between the price of dating apps — just depending on who you are. Sophia Sinclair thinks that premium accounts are a ick and Björn Jeffery advises to VPN to a cheaper country. If you have a question, we will be delighted if you email techbrief@svd.se And don’t forget that you get the best listening experience in the SvD app.
