This study aims to measure the level of perception among a sample of the Egyptian audience regarding the concept of algorithmic bias on social media platforms and generative artificial intelligence models toward content related to the war on Gaza. It also aims to assess their evaluation of the space of digital freedom of expression, drawing on the digital public sphere theory and the algorithmic gatekeeping theory, in order to understand and characterize the relationship between algorithmic bias and respondents' ability to participate in digital discussions. The study applied the questionnaire tool to a purposive sample of 400 respondents from users of social media networks and artificial intelligence applications. The results found that respondents' perception of algorithmic bias is influenced by educational level and the intensity of use of digital platforms. It also became evident that there is a high level of awareness of algorithmic gatekeeping mechanisms, particularly the bias of social media networks, due to strategies of content removal, reducing engagement, and restricting accounts, while the bias of artificial intelligence models appeared in the formulation of responses and the generation of images. The results confirmed respondents' sense of the limited freedom of expression on digital platforms due to programming restrictions. The study concluded that respondents use digital resistance strategies to counter algorithmic surveillance of opinions and to break the dominance of technology companies during events of geopolitical conflict.
