      Look, Facebook *caring* about the content it promotes is a good thing. I think it should care, and care a lot more.

      My point is NOT it's bad for Facebook to care about content but that 1-Facebook (and Google) concentrate power; 2-Are not open about this.+

      5-Facebook & Google that have enormous power to shape the public sphere. They should grapple with this but also be open & more accountable.

      Facebook feed algorithm sold as "what you want" but it structures the experience. FB trending is sold as algorithm but is FB's preferences.🙄

      BTW I *do* wish there were a better term than algorithm to mean "complex and opaque computation of consequence". Language does what it does.

          @zeynep It would be useful. I point out to my students that *no one* understands why some big data algorithms produce the answer they do.

          @naz_erkan It sucks, what algorithm means in computer science and the meaning it's taken on in general language are pretty divergent. Alas.

          @zeynep It'd be useful distinction:"Complex but knowable routine" vs "hidden procedure." Latter warrants a neologism w/black magic overtones

          @zeynep what about "processing" or "logic"? One can prefix it w (semi)-automated. Those terms are in CH and EU data protection laws.

          For such decisions "we show you what's most interesting to you", there's no right answer, hence no escaping values—editorial or computation.
