      Facebook's biases are not on a liberal/conservative axis. It's biased to be "viral, clicky, upbeat or quarrelsome":http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/19/opinion/the-real-bias-built-in-at-facebook.html …

      Zuckerberg met with Glenn Beck to assure him that Facebook's not biased against him. Beck-type anti-vaccination theories thrive on Facebook.

      Donald Trump and conspiracy theories. Both do very well on Facebook. It's what people want and it's the algorithm.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/19/upshot/donald-trump-and-conspiracy-theories-what-a-poll-in-2011-signaled.html …

      Algorithms aren't shaped just by what we want but also by what the company wants from us. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/19/opinion/the-real-bias-built-in-at-facebook.html …pic.twitter.com/JvGr5qdZDO

      One weakness here is that algorithms is too broad. A recipe for egg salad is an algorithm. Clarity on this could aid your arguments.

      I hear you. Not happy "algorithm" is the word that emerged to mean complex computational filtering.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/733656743486574592 …

      CS friends. I DO wish another word besides "algorithm" had emerged to mean complex opaque proprietary decision-making by computation. Alas.

      Possibly you could refine the arguments. Clearly delineate the different types of bias and find appropriate names for each.

      I am working on longer pieces for sure, but in a 1,000 word op-ed. Lingustic descrpitivism rules. I use what communicates.

      Like, I want to use every term in this paper: http://research.google.com/pubs/pub43146.html … How to do it when writing to the public? Challenging.

      Maybe we could DM or email away from the Twitterverse. I'll try to read through some more and think of alternative nomenclature :).

      followed. If there were better wording, I'd use it. We can maybe develop terminology for other aspects? Need word committee.😃
