Is Your Social Media Algorithm Toxic?

Is Your Social Media Algorithm Toxic?

March 25, 2026 14 min

Many of us turn to social media to stay informed and connected. But what most people don’t realize is that the information appearing in their feed isn’t the same information others are seeing—even people they live and work with every day. Algorithms are designed to keep us engaged, often by feeding us content that triggers our strongest emotions, reinforces our fears, and confirms our existing beliefs. Over time, that constant stream of curated information can quietly shape how we see the world—and how we see each other.

In this episode of The Happily Ever After Divorce® Podcast, Atlanta Divorce Law Group’s Sara Khaki and Shawna Woods explore how social media algorithms can influence relationships, family dynamics, and even the decisions people make during difficult life transitions. Together, they discuss how algorithm-driven content can deepen division, amplify emotional reactions, and isolate people from meaningful conversations with those closest to them. They also share why awareness of these digital influences is so important—especially for families navigating conflict, co-parenting challenges, or the emotional strain of divorce.
