As conservatives push their tech firm bias critique, it will be fascinating to see if academics move to a kind of algorithmic realism just like many embraced an epistemological realism after 2016.

A version of this happened with "fake news." It's a perfectly good term, except like all things, it lives in a contested epistemological ground and it got taken over. That doesn't mean it was wrong intrinsically; just that this is the current power structure in information wars.

People are arguing that we shouldn't use fake news because it got taken over. Okay, maybe, maybe not, but my point is that *it got taken over!! to discredit actual news* That's more indicative of today's dynamics than which term to use for what, and more important.
