In the twenty-first century, propaganda has been reborn — no longer shouted from loudspeakers or plastered across walls, but whispered individually into millions of minds through the subtle, calculated precision of artificial intelligence. Algorithmic Propaganda: The AI Playbook for Mass Persuasion takes you deep inside the hidden systems that shape public opinion, influence elections, manipulate economies, and even alter the course of nations.
In this in-depth investigation, we explore how vast datasets, machine learning models, and predictive behavioural algorithms turn social media feeds into highly personalised persuasion tools — often without the target realising they have been influenced. We examine the double-edged nature of algorithmic personalisation: the promise of relevance and efficiency versus the danger of manipulation, polarisation, and the erosion of independent thought.
From Facebook’s engagement algorithms to TikTok’s infinite scroll, from YouTube’s recommendation engine to covert state-backed influence operations, the line between free choice and engineered behaviour has never been so thin. The discussion also covers the role of governments, corporations, and regulatory bodies — including the European Union’s AI Act, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and the UK’s Online Safety Bill — in shaping the boundaries of digital persuasion.
We also draw cross-references to our earlier deep dives on related themes, such as:

And stay tuned for our next episode in Algorithmic Hegemony: Who Really Rules the 21st Century? — where we explore Predictive Governance and how AI systems are not only influencing public opinion but also directly shaping public policy.
