DESCRIPTION:Where do you get your information about the world? How do you k
 now that it is unbiased? What if it is created specifically for you? This 
 talk explores how social media platforms turn user data into personalized 
 streams of persuasive content that blur the line between information and m
 anipulation. In a post-truth world where belief\, opinion\, and emotion ou
 tweigh evidence\, targeted messaging doesn’t just spread—it adapts\, e
 mbedding itself in how we think and feel and influencing how we behave. Mo
 ving between theory and real-world cases\, this presentation reveals how s
 ocial media sites shape political and social realities—and asks what hap
 pens as AI makes these conditions faster to create and harder to notice.
