Who controls what we see, what we know, and what gets buried?

For our seventh issue, we're taking a closer look at the algorithms shaping our lives, politics, culture, and increasingly, our reality.

Some topics we cover: historical censorship of reproductive health information to its modern-day algorithmic suppression, the expansion of AI infrastructure into Black communities, ICE's growing surveillance apparatus, algorithmic surge pricing, and Silicon Valley's promise of a future where everything is personalized just for you.

We're asking who benefits from these systems, who gets left out, and what happens when a handful of corporations have so much power over how we experience the world.

Featuring writing and reporting from Lizzie Chadbourne, Ashton Reeder, Noella Williams, Myriam Robinson Puche, Josh Potash, Parham Ghalamdar, Karl Loftus, Erica Kermani, Aarati Akkapeddi, and Josephine Hailot, alongside interviews with Nouf Aljowaysir, Sam Lavigne, and Idris Brewster.

We're also incredibly honored to feature cover artwork by one of our favorite artist, @wefail1.
