The Illusion of Control [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2018
Algorithmic prioritization is a growing focus for social media users. Control settings are one way for users to adjust the prioritization of their news feeds, but they prioritize feed content in a way that can be difficult to judge objectively. In this work, we study how users engage with difficult-to-validate controls.
