The algorithm controls our social media feeds. It controls what opinions we see and whose lives we get glimpses into. It has the power to shape our view of the world. So, who controls the algorithm? And are they wielding this power for the better? Or for the worse? 'Grounded' is a digital documentary series, powered by 7NEWS and its team of young journalists from across Australia.

Ideology has always been a critical element in understanding how we view the world, form opinions and make political decisions.

Say you are looking for a new job. You head to LinkedIn to spruce up your profile and look around your social network. But who should you reach out to for an introduction to a potential new employer? A new study of more than 20 million people, published in Science, shows that your close friends (on LinkedIn) are not your best bet: instead you should look to acquaintances you don’t know well enough to share a personal connection with.
