They use algorithms, of course, but how do these algorithms work? A series of corporate leaks over the past few years provides a remarkable window in the hidden engines powering social media.

Many people don’t trust algorithms and machine learning because they don’t have a complete understanding of how they actually work. Let's break it down.

That’s where encryption, hashing, and obfuscation come in. This article hopes to clear up some misconception in the industry as to how these technologies work and how they relate to each.
