CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

Models a Facebook user's journey from initial exposure to QAnon-adjacent content through algorithmic engagement boosting, group join, echo chamber formation, and eventual radicalization unless moderation intervenes.

Key decisions

  • Does the user engage with QAnon-adjacent content?
  • Does the user continue engaging with increasingly extreme content?
  • Does platform moderation/fact-checking intervene?

When to reuse this

Use to explain algorithmic radicalization pathways on engagement-driven social platforms, inform moderation policy design, or train content moderators and analysts.
