Nowadays, digital technologies and tools have become part of our lives. Communication, shopping, travel, working life and almost all of our daily lives are through this internet and digital algorithm has become addicted to technologies. Nowadays, algorithms are becoming increasingly widespread and affecting all spheres of life. From listening to music to reading news, from a loan withdrawn from a bank to different security systems, algorithms play a serious role in the decisions we make in our daily lives or made for us. The results of these increasing effects of algorithms are experienced in different ways by different groups in society. Algorithm algorithms demonstrate a critical approach against the inequalities in society that might make researchers more apparent discrimination, prejudice, and highlights issues such as violation of confidentiality of personal data (O'neil, 2016; Eubanks, 2018). Social scientific studies that deal with algorithms topics such as algorithm ethics (Kraemer, Overveld and Peterson, 2011) or legal problems and human rights violations caused by the use of algorithms (Barrett, 2017; Molnar, 2019) he studies it, often offers a theoretical point of view or treats algorithms as a technological product. Studies that evaluate the point of view of people who are directly the target of algorithms and are exposed to different decisions made with algorithm outputs are limited. Therefore, this study addresses refugees and aims to examine the perceptions of refugees about different algorithms.
