Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Social media algorithms shape how speech is shared by amplifying or suppressing content, often prioritizing controversial posts that drive engagement. This algorithmic control distorts public discourse, making visibility dependent on platform mechanics rather than the value of ideas. As a result, social media is no longer a level playing field, as algorithms significantly influence what is heard and the nature of free speech online.
