Algorithms Work?
An AI algorithm made using the 
latest software and 
computer systems is basically a 
mathematical set of rules that 
defines how a collection of data 
behaves. Many social media 
algorithms work by sorting all the 
content in a user’s feed. They 
filter out unrelated content and 
show more relevant material, but 
sometimes these algorithms can 
get it wrong, either accidentally or 
on purpose. canada.desertcart.com

There are many negative effects of 
social media use. A 2018 study in the 
Lancet found that teens who spent 
more time on social media were more 
likely to suffer from anxiety and 
depression. A study published in the 
Journal of the American Medical 
Association in 2013 found that 
excessive use of social media is 
associated with increased fatigue (lack 
of energy), which may lead to 
unhealthy behaviors such as skipping 
meals or overeating.

health of teens and youth.
