You can't get rid of "bias" if there is judgment and selection. Machine or human. You can have criteria that is seen as fair, or not.
Facebook didn't say anything about bias; I think this is more about scaling "trends" globally.

Still employing humans to "vet" the trends; just own engineers rather than (who-knows-who) subcontractors.

That the press jumped up to read and report this as "eliminate bias" very telling though. No such claim in FB.

I'd agree if they were automating Trending, but how do engineers doing the same editorial work help it scale up?

Nobody to write descriptions: you can have a 10,000 topics trending around the world without hiring humans.
