lgorithmic Criminality on Social Media Platforms: A Legal and Analytical Examination of Facebook under Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Algorithmic crimes committed through the Facebook platform represent a new form of digital criminality shaped by the advancement of artificial intelligence technologies.Algorithms have become powerful tools for analyzing human behavior and directing content in ways that may infringe upon individual and collective interests. The misuse of these systems for unlawful purposes—such as spreading misinformation, manipulating public opinion, or violating privacy through unauthorized data processing—raises significant concerns. Deepfake technologies further exacerbate these risks by enabling deception and political interference. Such practices pose critical legal challenges in identifying criminal elements and attributing responsibility amid the autonomous nature of algorithmic learning. Therefore, a modern legal framework is essential to address these AI-driven threats while ensuring a balance between freedom of expression and digital rights
