I am not very knowledgeable about this stuff but I think people need to decide what the issue is. EG people blast Facebook for its "algorithm destroying democracy" but also blast WhatsApp, which AFAIK has no algorithm, for also "destroying democracy".

Thanks. One of my general things is "statements about algorithms are really statements about domains". So, if the claim is "optimizing for engagement inherently boosts Nazis" or something, then that's really a claim about human behavior, not algorithms...

...EG "conspiracy theories are inherently addictive", or "power users are inherently disproportionately Nazis", or whatever.
