Do you control your feed, or does the algorithm? Seven questions about platforms and your data

Facebook is making topics selectable, Siri will learn your music taste, and a British student super-app runs on Chinese servers. How much do you want software to decide for you – and do you care where your data goes?

  1. With Facebook's new Your Algorithm feature you can add topics to your feed yourself. Would you use it?
  2. What would you filter out of your feed the most?
  3. In iOS 27, Siri learns which music app you prefer. What do you think of assistants that learn like this?
  4. Do you use a voice assistant (Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa) at least once a week?
  5. A British student super-app runs on servers of a Chinese company blacklisted by the US. How much does it matter to you where your data is stored?
  6. How much do you agree with the following statements?
  7. Python 3.15 is out and support for 3.10 is ending for good. How quickly do you update the software on your devices?
