      I focus on Facebook because it's consequential but also because it's a familiar example for computational decision-making. Issue is wider.

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

      @GreatDismal @brianstelter So a single anonymous source, abetted by a faulty headline, created all this right-wing hysteria.
