      Algorithmic decision-making is decision-making. Algorithmic editorializing: editorializing. http://www.wsj.com/articles/facebooks-trending-feature-exhibits-flaws-under-new-algorithm-1473176652 …pic.twitter.com/hzFDUMS5yU

      Humans, algorithms, a combination. Decision-making is decision-making, and the responsibility should be embraced & scrutinized—not shrugged.

      Algorithmic or algorithm-supported decision-making has different considerations as a process. That's to be talked about—not swept under rug.

      What Mark Zuckerberg misses here: Media's key role is *choosing* what to highlight—just like Facebook's algorithm.pic.twitter.com/SnUr65y9HS

      Facebook does not exist only to give "you the tools to curate and have the experience that you want." Facebook *shapes* the tools.

      The problem for Facebook—and for all media—is that there is no one right answer to what to highlight and how. Welcome to decision-making.

      So, yes, Facebook will be criticized whatever it does. But it can't escape "whatever it does" part; there is no "not doing anything" option.

          Yep. What to highlight and how is among the most important decisions. How to choose "trending" inherently political.https://twitter.com/jeffbigham/status/773507519490777088 …

          BTW, this doesn't just apply to Facebook. Twitter's choice of trending algo is also a value-laden decision (valuing spikes over slow build).

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
