      UNPOPULAR IDEA: Maybe we should talk about Google's search algorithms. I thought there was a healthy debate underway about ways people/nation-states can manipulate social media, web search etc. in nefarious ways. [winces for expected backlash]

      I mean, here's someone who covers that realm regularly, so I'm not how unpopular it is:https://twitter.com/cwarzel/status/1034455504204967936 …

      most frustrating about Trump’s Google tweet is that algorithms are indeed biased. And they are indeed opaque. But not necessarily in the stupid, simplistic and politicized way our uninformed 5AM tweeting president suggests. Every conversation Trump touches loses all nuance.

          That seems about right. Not sure what 'biased' means here, though. They're the product of some human design to emphasize some factors and de-empahsize others. Some people might prefer a broader aperture. Many seem to prefer a narrow, self-reinforcing one.

          there are lots of people advocating for greater transparency with google's algorithms (including most tech reporters who've been doing that for at least a decade). my point is that the issue of political bias is — the way trump describes it — largely too blunt & so far unfound

          reports suggest that Trump gets printouts of Google News results. Issues with Google News results can b said to have something to do with political bias, I suppose, but those issues are less to do w/ Google and its algos and much more to do with general notions of pub credibility

          you'll see probably zero infowars in google news, yes. is that because of political bias or the fact that the outlet has trafficked in conspiracy theories? MAGA world will call that bias. but its not really algo bias...and i don't think it's political bias either. just standards.

          my point is that we're having the dumbest version of this conversation right now bc the president saw an unscientific study that was shared on cable news. algorithms pushing us toward unforeseen outcomes is hugely important and nuanced. but we won't have that convo.
