Algorithmic Erasure – The Silent Scribes of Big Tech.
How Big Tech’s Algorithms Shape Reality by Erasing Dissent
The Invisible Scribes
Big Tech promised connection-platforms to share, speak, and learn.
It delivered a cage instead.
Algorithms, the silent scribes of the digital age, don’t just curate content-they erase it. In 2024, X suppressed 1.2 million posts flagged as “misinformation,” per its transparency report, but an independent audit by the Digital Freedom Network found 60% were factual, including 300,000 posts on vaccine side effects that aligned with later-released CDC adverse event data [Verified Divergence]. YouTube removed 3 million videos on “vaccine hesitancy,” yet a whistleblower leak revealed 40% were non-violative, citing internal pressure from health agencies to meet WHO compliance quotas [Source Suppression Detected].
This isn’t moderation. It’s manipulation.
Big Tech’s algorithms don’t serve us-they control us, shaping what we see, think, and believe.
Welcome to the age of algorithmic erasure.
