        It's a shame that most people lack the vocabulary required to discuss these issues accurately. I think it's great that 'filter bubble' is a phrase we all know, because it concisely describes an important problem. Maybe news outlets could start saying 'personalized algorithms'

        the conflation of algorithms with the business plans they are deployed in support of, or the second-order consequences of those business plans, is deeply concerning to me

        how about instead of "personalized algorithms" we said "surveillance capitalism" and "pervasive intrusive marketing"

        Replying to @danlistensto

        Both of those are more descriptive than what I said, but "surveillance capitalism" sounds left, so a lot of people maybe wouldn't buy it, but I really like "pervasive intrusive marketing". That's exactly the issue.
