“…Wang and Jaidka (2023) investigated whether search methods corresponded with the predicted confirmation biases of areas that adhere to different partisan convictions. Burgers et al (2023) concentrated on four communication biases: volume, balance, fairness and recipient engagement. The results showed that teams tend to allocate more of their feed to positive events related to the in-group than to the out-group.…”

PurposeThe global prevalence of social media and its potential to cause polarization are highly debated and impactful. The previous literature often assumes that the ideological bias of any media outlet remains static and exogenous to the polarization process. By studying polarization as a whole from an ecosystem approach, the authors aim to identify policies and strategies that can help mitigate the adverse effects of polarization and promote healthier online discourse.Design/methodology/approachTo investigate online polarization, the authors perform a systematic review and analysis of approximately 400 research articles to explore the connection between cognitive bias and polarization, examining both causal and correlational evidence. The authors extensively evaluate and integrate existing research related to the correlation between online polarization and crucial factors such as public engagement, selective exposure and political democracy. From doing so, the authors then develop a PolarSphere ecosystem that captures and illustrates the process of online polarization formation.FindingsThe authors' review uncovers a wide range of associations, including ideological cognition, bias, public participation, misinformation and miscommunication, political democracy, echo chambers and selective exposure, heterogeneity and trust. Although the impact of bias on social media polarization depends on specific environments and internal/external conditions, certain variables exhibit strong associations across multiple contexts. The authors use these observations as a basis from which to construct PolarSphere, an ecosystem of bias-based polarization on social media, to theorize the process of polarization formation.Originality/valueBased on the PolarSphere ecosystem, the authors argue that it is crucial for governments and civil societies to maintain vigilance and invest in further research to gain a deep comprehension of how cognitive bias affects online polarization, which could lead to ways to eliminate polarization.

Protecting Children of the TikTok Era: A Discourse Analysis in the Absence of Law

Insufficient protections from platforms and policymakers have left children vulnerable to the harms of social media, engendering years of lively discussion around who should be held responsible for their continued engagement. Particular concerns have arisen around TikTok, a Chinese owned social media company with a distinct format and appeal toward children. In the absence of overarching governance, the public discourse fueled an understanding of how this platform may be misused. This paper analyzes the public discourse surrounding children's usage of TikTok in the United States between August 2018 and March 2021 (n = 41,731) identifying communicated harms, responsibility attribution, and public attention metrics. Additionally, a qualitative analysis of changes to TikTok's privacy policy (n = 6) revealed parallels between the discourse and actual policy changes. Results underscore that the time during which the digital discourse received (1) high public attention and (2) attributed responsibility to TikTok coincided with significant alterations to TikTok's privacy policy. Implications for platform governance and digital civic engagement research is discussed in light of rapidly changing child privacy law.
