I wrote one contribution on ESSEC Knowledge in July 2020 and three articles (in French) in Libération and La Libre Belgique in 2016-19 that help to shed some light.
ESSEC Knowledge in 2020 (Fr & En):
La Libre Belgique in 2019: Stop à l'anarchie sur les réseaux sociaux
Libération in 2018: Et si on réinitialisait les réseaux sociaux ?
Libération in 2016: Des algorithmes dangereux pour le débat démocratique
