Abstract
This paper explores how social network platforms, particularly Facebook, influence memory-making. It examines the mediating role of Facebook's Memories feature, driven by algorithms, and how it shapes concepts of memory, control, and space. The analysis, framed within post-phenomenology, reveals how Facebook co-produces memories, guiding users' criteria for remembering and forgetting. The paper concludes with suggestions for critically engaging with social media's memory-making features.
