How does social media provide information?
Information appears based on the social media user friends sharing the information; or by who the user chooses to receive information from. Truthful or un-truthful information appears on the social media user news feed with or without consent of the user.
How does social media know what to show you?
The algorithm of every social media platform is different, but they are all based on machine learning and a set of factors called ranking signals. These are exactly what they sound like: signals used to rank the value of each individual piece of content for each individual user.
Why social media is good for spreading information?

Social media can create a platform for sharing stories, narratives, and photos, providing facts and data in a consumable way, which engages an audience by helping them understand. The work to create awareness helps to build a community around an issue.
