If you remember the uproar over fake news, Facebook's fight against misinformation makes sense.
In April 2019, it made manual efforts (which is a huge effort for a social network of this size) to verify content and fight misleading information.
Another of the most important changes to Facebook's algorithm over the past year is surveys to collect feedback from users who say they were viewing relevant content.
Many brands were alarmed by the potential repercussions this information would have on company websites.
Facebook replied:
These changes aren't intended to show more or less content from Pages usa phone number list or friends. Instead, Pages' content will be shown to those who find it worthwhile, and friends' posts will be shown to those who want to hear from their loved ones.

The bottom line is that this social network is trying hard to prove that likes, comments and any other engagement action is a very valuable currency for brands and that relevance with users is key.
Recent changes on Twitter
500 million tweets are sent every day.
A chilling figure that makes the work of social media users much more complicated, since finding information is not easy.
Twitter, like the rest of the social networks, has its own algorithm, which has been changing over time.
When this social network was launched, back in 2006, tweets were presented in reverse chronological order.
That is, the first thing you saw were the latest posts from the profiles you followed.
It was not until 2014 that the Twitter algorithm underwent a major change.
From that point on, the feed starts to include tweets, suggested topics and recommended accounts.
